Question

Bobby catches 8 passes in 3 football games. At this rate how many passes dose he catch in 15 games?expine

Answer 1

Answer: 40

Explanation:

I can see the answer is 40, but let's try to figure out how to do it.

I like to use the rule of 3. Let's put the number of passes on the left side and the number of games on the right side.

`(8)/(x)=(3)/(15)`

''x'' represents the number of passes in 15 games.

Solve for x;

`x=(15*8)/(3)\\ x=(120)/(3)\\ x=40`
