Question

For every 5 baskets kevon shoots , he misses three. If Kevon takes 25 shots, how many shots does he miss

Answer 1

Kevon misses 3 shots for every 5 he takes. In 25 shots, he would have 5 sets of 5 shots. Hence, Kevon will miss 15 of the 25 shots.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to determine how many shots Kevon misses if he takes 25 shots, given that for every 5 baskets he shoots, he misses three. We use a proportion to solve the problem by first understanding Kevon's shooting pattern. For every 5 shots (the sum of baskets and misses), Kevon misses 3.

Let's calculate the number of sets of 5 shots within 25 shots:

1. Divide 25 by 5 to find the number of sets: 25 ÷ 5 = 5 sets.
2. Since Kevon misses 3 shots per set, multiply the number of sets by 3: 5 sets × 3 misses/set = 15 misses.

Therefore, if Kevon takes 25 shots, he will miss 15 of them.

Answer 2

`(5)/(3) = (25)/(x) 25*3=75. 75/5= 15 missed shots.`
