Question

Question. Vonna scored 27 goals at soccer practice. Her ratio of goals to misses was 3:7 how many times did she miss

Answer 1

We have

3 goals to 7 misses

27 goals to x

We will use the crossed multiplication by using the ratio given and the number of scored goals.

`x=\frac{27\text{ goals }\cdot7\text{ missed}}{3\text{ goals}}`

we simplify

`x=(27\cdot7)/(3)=63\text{ misses}`

ANSWER

63 misses
