Question

In a basketball game, the ratio of
three-point baskets to three-point tries for
one team was 4:9. If the team scored 36
points from the three-point baskets, how
many three-point tries did the team have?

Answer 1

The ratio is 4:9 to get from 4 to 36, you need to multiply 4 by 9. Now you need to do the same to 9. multiply 9x9 to get 81. The new ratio is 36:81, with 3 point tries being 81.

Hope this helped :)
