Molly shot 20 baskets in 4 minutes. Nico shot 42 baskets in 6 minutes. How many more baskets did Nico shoot per minute?

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.
