Question

Question. Vonna scored 27 goals at soccer practice. Her ratio of goals to misses was 3:7 how many times did she miss

Answer 1

We have

3 goals to 7 misses

27 goals to x

We will use the crossed multiplication by using the ratio given and the number of scored goals.

$x=\frac{27\text{ goals }\cdot7\text{ missed}}{3\text{ goals}}$

we simplify

$x=\frac{27\cdot7}{3}=63\text{ misses}$

ANSWER

63 misses
