To solve this problem, simply set up a proportion depicting the ratio of the soccer player's scored goals as a numerator, and the quantity of games as the denominator (32:89). Add a vertical equal sign on its side, and imply another fraction illustrating an available answer for the equation; reference the two denominators to correspond within measurement (be sure to label variables), drawing a one as the amount for the games, figuring out as to how the unit rate of goals is scored in one game: divide across from both proportions, and you should result with an answer of 0.36 goals per game.
