Question

PLEASE HURRY-When Melissa is playing soccer she makes 2 goals out of every 12 shots on goal. How many times would you expect her to make the goal if she took 144 shots on goal?

Answer 1

Answer: 24 goals

Explanation:

Melissa makes 2 goals out of every 12 shots on goal.

This means that the amount of shots needed to score a goal for her is:

= Number of shots / Number of goals

= 12 / 2

= 6 shots

She scores a goal every 6 shots.

If she makes 144 shots therefore, she will score:

= Number of shots / Number of shots needed per goal

= 144 / 6

= 24 goals
