Question

If the ratio of goals scored to goals attempted is 6:10 (or 6 goals are scored for every 10 goals tried), how many attempted goals would there be if 12 goals were scored?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Set up the following ratio

6/10 = 12 / x Cross multiply

6x = 12 * 10 Combine the right

6x = 120 Divide by 6

x = 120/6

x = 20
