Vonna scored 24 goals at soccer practice. Her ratio of goals to misses was 4:3. How many times did she miss?

Question

please answer

Answer 1

Goals/Misses=4/3 right?

 

so we can set up a proportion;

if she scores 24 goals it would go on top of the fraction to the left leaving an x in the bottom for misses

 

24/x=4/3      then you cross multiply getting

24(3)=4(x)   so simplify

72=4x          now divide both sides by 4

18=x

 

She missed 18 goals at practice.

Answer 2

Given ration =  4:3  or 4/3 

 

4/3 = 24/x -->  cross multiply then    4x = 24*3 --> x = (4*6*3)/4 --> x = 18

 

so she missed 18 times.
