During a basketball game, the home team scored 32 points from normal shots, 18 points from three-point shots, and 16 points from free throws. which of the following expresses the ratio of the points earned from normal shots to the total points in three different ways? a. 9: 33; 9 to 33; 9⁄33 b. 33: 16; 33 to 16; 33⁄16 c. 8: 33; 8 to 33; 8⁄33 d. 16: 33; 16 to 33; 16⁄33

total points = 32 + 18 + 16 = 66 points

the normal shots are worth 2 points each.

So there were 9 normal shots that scored.

18/66 = 9/33

18 to 66

9/33

The answer should be A

B has it the wrong way around.

C I don't know how C was derived, but it is not correct.  They must be talking about free throws and dividing by two.

D is also about free throws.

if gloria has "carry over" minutes, (that is, any minutes paid for but not used in a month can be applied to her payment for minutes in the next month,) her total usage for the three months is: total minutes = 320 + 243 + 489 = 1052 minutes number of 200 minute blocks = 1052/200 = 5 r52 (that is 5 with a remainder of 52) rounding up the number of 200 minute blocks gives her usage for the three months as 6 blocks. the cost for six blocks is 6 x $25 = $150 she also has 200 - 52 or 148 carry over minutes if gloria pays each month and unused minutes are lost, applying the rounding up procedure to each month gives: first month usage of 320 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 second month usage of 243 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 third month usage of 489 minutes rounds up to 3 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 3 x $25 = $75 total payments for the three months are $50 + $50 + $75 = $175 get the plan with carry over minutes!
