Two ways to look at it: 65 - 24 = 41, or 24 girls to 41 boys (ratio is 24:41). Or you could show the percentage of the girls in the class by using fraction and converting to decimal or percent: 24/65 of the class are girls. Divide 24 by 65 to set it up as a decimal and then as percent. 24/65 = 0.3692307 (round off to 0.37) which would be 37%.

Practice, practice, practice. The only way to get your jump shot down is to practice it from every angle, every situation, and every position.
If you practice the same shot every day from the same location, that will do little good. The first step is to try shooting from everywhere in the court.
The next step is to try fade-away shots, contested shots, shots with one second on the shot clock, etc. to get you prepared for anything.

There are usually two of these players on the team - often good at rebounding?
The positions in basketball are: point guard, shooting guard, small/power forward, forward, and centre. The centre and the forward are generally the tallest players on the court, and often get most of the rebounds. However, due to the dynamics of any given team, all positions have the potential to take that statistic.
