Final answer:
Jim scored 3 points for every 2 that Kim did. If Jim scored 12 points, by setting up a ratio of 3:2 and solving for Kim's points, Kim scored 8 points. Option b.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jim scored 3 points for every 2 points that Kim scored. To solve this problem, set up a ratio comparing Jim's points to Kim's points:
J : K = 3 : 2
Since Jim scored 12 points, we can set this equal to the ratio and solve for K (Kim's points).
12 : K = 3 : 2
To find out how many points Kim scored, we can cross-multiply and divide:
(3) * (K) = (12) * (2)
3K = 24
K = 24 / 3
K = 8
Therefore, Kim scored 8 points.
So Option b.
