Molly shot 20 baskets in 4 minutes. Nico shot 42 baskets in 6 minutes. How many more baskets did Nico shoot per minutee

Respuesta :

We divide their baskets by their amount of minutes to see how much they shot in one minute. 20 divided by 4 is 5 so Molly shot 5 baskets in one minute. 42 divided by 6 is 7 so Nico shot 7 baskets in one minute. We subtract 7 and 5 and get a quotient of 2. 

Nico shot 2 more baskets per minute than Molly
20/4 is 5 which is Molly’s average per min. 42/7 is 6 which is nicos average per min
Nico shot 1 more basket per min
