We can use a ratio expression to find the answer to this problem.

Set up the ratio.
4/5 = x/25
Multiply both sides by 25.
100/5 = x
Divide by 5.
20 = x
This means out of 25 times the ball is kicked toward the goal, the goalie will block it 20 times.

Hello!

You have to find
(4)/(5) of 25


(4)/(5) = (x)/(25)

Cross multiply

25 × 4 = 100

100 ÷ 5 = 20

The goalie made 20 blocks
