Answer 1

Answer:

90 three-point tries

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

The ratio of the three-point baskets to three-point tries is 5 : 6 i.e. $\frac{5}{6}$.

It is given that the team scored 75 points from the three-point baskets.

Let, the number of three-point tries be 'x'.

So, we get that,

$\frac{5}{6}=\frac{75}{x}$

i.e. $x=\frac{75\times 6}{5}$

i.e. x= 15 × 6

i.e. x= 90

Thus, the team have 90 three-point tries.
