f=1.5h

Explanation:

"let f represent free throws and h hours practiced"

"the statement is "fproph

"to convert to an equation multiply by k the constant"
"of variation"

f=kh

"to find k use the given condition"

h=6" and "f=9

f=khrArrk=f/h=9/6=3/2=1.5

"equation is " color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(f=1.5h)color(white)(2/2)|)))
