Question

A girl makes 12 foul shots for every 8 that she misses.How many shots did she make if she shot 125 foul shots

Answer 1

`(12)/(20) = (x)/(125) \\ 20x = 1500 \\ \\ x = 75`

Answer 2

Answer: There are 208 shots she make if she shot 125 foul shots.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of foul shots = 12

Number of shots she misses = 8

Total number of shots = 12+8=20

So, if the number of foul shots = 125

We need to find the number of shots she make.

According to question, we get that

`(12)/(20)=(125)/(x)\\\\12x=125* 20\\\\12x=2500\\\\x=(2500)/(12)\\\\x=208.33\\\\x\approx 208`

Hence, there are 208 shots she make if she shot 125 foul shots.
