Gracia and Jim were shooting free throws. Gracia made 4 out of 15 free throws. Jim missed 6 out of 16 free throws. Who made the free throw a greater fraction of the time?

If Jim missed 6 out of 16 free throws, then he made 10/16 free throws. At the same time Gracia made 4/15 free rows. The common denominator of those fractions (if we simplify 10/16 to 5/8) is 120, so:

Garcia made 4/15 = 32/120 free throws
Jim made 5/8 = 75/120 free throws

We can clearly see that Jim was more than two times better than Garcia.
