16

Step-by-step explanation:

The free throw average is 75%, wich means that from 100 attempted free throws, they make 75.

To solve the problem you can use a simple rule of three:

If for every 100 attempted free throws the knicks make 75 free throws, then how many attempts did they do if they made 12 free throws?

\frac{100 attempts}{75 throws} =\frac{x}{12throws} \\x=\frac{12*100}{75} \\x=16

Then, if the knicks made 12 throws last night, that means they made 16 attempted throws.

4⁻³ · 12⁰

Remember, if a power is ever negative, then you have to turn it into a fraction, and if a power is zero, then the whole number turns into 1 :)

4⁻³ turns into 1/4³ due to the fact that the power is negative.

So, our question now looks like this : 

1/4³ · 1

Simplify.

1/64 · 1

Simplify.

Our answer is : 1/64
