Question

there are 24 girls on the soccer team, eighteen of them made a goal during a drill. write the ratio of missed to total tried

Answer 1

If 18 out of the 24 girls scored, it means that 6 missed. Therefore, the ratio of missed to total tried​ is:

`6\colon24`

Simplified,

`1\colon4`

Meaning that 1 out of every 4 girls that shot during the drill missed.
