Answer:
He missed 40 foul shots.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jordan made 3 foul shots for every 8 that he attempted.
That means, the number of missed shots in 3 made shots is 5.
At the end of the season, he made 24 foul shots.
Suppose, the number of missed shot at the end of the season is [tex]x[/tex]
So, according to the ratio of "missed shot" and "made shot" , the equation will be......
[tex]\frac{x}{24} =\frac{5}{3} \\ \\ 3x=24*5= 120\\ \\ x=\frac{120}{3}=40[/tex]
Thus, he missed 40 foul shots.
