Molly - 20/4

Nico - 42/6

Now, lets do cross multiplication.

20/4 = x/1                         42/6 = x/1 

4(x) = 20(1)                      6(x) = 42(1) 

4x=20                               6x = 42

4x/4 = 20/4                       6x/6 = 42/6

x=5                                   x=7

Therefore, Nico shot 2 more baskets per minute than Molly.

Answer:

Nico shoots 2 more basket per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Molly shot 20 baskets in 4 minutes,

[tex]\text{Molly's shoots per minute}=\frac{20}{4}=5[/tex]

Nico shot 42 baskets in 6 minutes.

[tex]\text{Nico's shoots per minute}=\frac{42}{6}=7[/tex]

∵ 7 - 5 = 2

Hence, Nico shoots 2 more basket per minute.
