Vonna scored 24 goals at soccer practice. Her ratio of goals to misses was 6:7. How many times did she miss?

Answer 1

Goals = 6

Misses 7

24 = 6

X 7

cross multiply and you get

6x = 168

divide each side by 6

6x = 168

6 6

x = 168/6

x = 28

She missed 28 times

Answer 2

So this is a ratio and proportion problem where

goals / misses = 6 / 7

so if she made 24 goals

then you need to solve the following equation from cross multiplying

6x = 7 * 24

where x is the number of misses
