Question

The Rutgers University and Princeton University soccer teams scored goals in a

8:5 ratio. If Rutgers scored 24 goals this season, how many did Princeton University’s
soccer team score? Show ALL of your work and answer in a complete sentence.

Answer 1

I know the answer is that Princeton scores 15 goals but I don’t know how the work is supposed to be shown. I did it in my head. I multiplied both 8 and 5 by 3 so 8 would become 24(the goals Rutgers scored) and then you would find the number of goals Princeton scored. Sorry I couldn’t show the work but the answer is 15 goals.
