Abasketball player attempts 15 baskets in a game he makes 9 of the attempts baskets which ratio describes the number of baskets the player made to the number of baskets the player attempts

The ratio would be 3:5

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, it is asking you to write a ratio that describes the number of baskets the player made to the number of baskets the player attempts

Whenever you read the question, the first comparison the question is talking about should go on the left side, while the next comparison in the question should go on the right.

Therefore:

Number of baskets the player made would go on the left

Number of baskets the player attempts would go on the right.

The ":" Should be placed where the "to" is said in the question.

When you look at the ratio it wants you to make, it says number of baskets the player made "TO" the number of baskets the player attempts.

So you would put the ":" there.

The numbers are given in the question, so plugging the numbers in is easier.

The player makes "9" baskets, so that would go on the left side.

The player attempted "15" shots, that would go on the right side.\

When you put them all together:

9:15

THEN, you would have to simplify

You would simplify by dividing the numbers by 3.

9/3 = 3

15/3 = 5

Then, you would put the numbers back to where it was originally placed:

3:5

3:5 would be your FINAL answer.
