    To predict how many free throws you will make, you can use proportions:

    If there is a 45% probability that you make a free throw, you will write this as

    45

    100

    Use this ratio to solve for how many free throws you will make out of 260.

    45x

    100 = 260

    You can use cross products to solve for x.

    260 x 45 = 100x

    11700 = 100x

    100 100

    x = 117 free throws

    You can expect to make 117 free throws.
