We have been given that Vonna scored 35 goals at soccer practice. Her ratio of goals to misses was 7:6.

Let x be number of misses of Vonna at soccer practice. We can set up a proportion of goals to misses as:


\frac{\text{Goals}}{\text{Misses}} =(7)/(6)

Upon substituting number of goals in our proportion we will get,


\frac{\text{35}}{x} =(7)/(6)

Upon cross multiplying our equations we will get,

Let us find
35\cdot 6=7x

Upon dividing both sides of our equation by 7 we will get,


x=(35* 6)/(7)


x=5* 6=30

Therefore, Vonna missed 30 times at her soccer practice.
