7. Rayyan is on her middle school basketball team. She successfully completed 12 free throws this season. This number represents 30% of her free-throw attempts. Use the partially completed strip model below to figure out the total number of free throws Rayyan attempted this season. HINT: The whole strip model is split into 10 parts. Think about what that means in relation to 30%.

Answer

To find the total number of free throws Rayyan attempted, we know that 12 free throws represent 30% of her attempts. Since the strip model is split into 10 parts, each part represents 10% of the total attempts.

If 30% equals 12 free throws, then 10% equals 12 / 3 = 4 free throws.

Therefore, 100% (the total number of attempts) is 4 free throws per 10% times 10, which equals 40 free throws.

Rayyan attempted a total of 40 free throws this season.
