For every touchdown scored by the Timberwolves, the mascot does 3 back flips and the cheerleaders set off 6 confetti cannons.

How many touchdowns did the Timberwolves score if the cheerleaders set of 18 confetti cannons?

Answer:

The answer is 3.

Explanation:

We can find this question using the ratio.

Given is ;

For every touchdown scored by the Timberwolves, the mascot does 3 back flips and the cheerleaders set off 6 confetti cannons.

Let the touchdowns done by the Timberwolves be = x

Foe 'x' touchdowns, the cheerleaders set of 18 confetti cannons


(1)/(6)=(x)/(18)


6x=18

x = 3

Therefore, the answer is 3.
