Three friends

You and your friends are playing basketball. You make 7 out of 15 shots. Your first friend makes 6 out of 10 shots, and your second friend makes 5 out of 12 shots. Who is the better shooter (write a, b, c)? How would you solve the problem using what you know about rational numbers?

Final Answer:

x = b

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=7/15=\frac{7}{15}\doteq 0.4667 \\ b=6/10=\frac{3}{5}=0.6 \\ c=5/12=\frac{5}{12}\doteq 0.4167 \\ b>a>c \\ x=b \end{gathered}$$
