Answer:

Kevin will shoot 3,000 baskets in 60 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Kevin shoots 50 baskets per day, that means the ratio of baskets shot to number of days is 50:1.

When the 1 changes to 60, you have to divide 60/1 to see how many times 1 was multiplied to get 60, then multiply the quotient by the 50.

In this case, 60/1=60. SO, we multiply 50*60 and get 3,000.
