1. grace makes approximately 50% of the free throws she attempts. last season, grace attempted 28 free throws. how many successful free throws did grace have last season? use the double number line to help you.

Explanation:

Step1: Define total attempts

Total free throws attempted = 28

Step2: Calculate 50% of attempts

50% is equivalent to $\frac{1}{2}$.
Successful throws = $28 \times \frac{1}{2}$

Step3: Compute the result

$28 \times \frac{1}{2} = 14$

(For the double number line:

• On the "free throws" line, mark 0, 14, 28 (since 28 is total, 14 is half)
• On the "percent" line, align 0 with 0%, 14 with 50%, 28 with 100%)

Answer:

14
