Question

Vonna scored 35 goals at soccer practice. Her ratio of goals to misses was 7:6 how many times did she miss

Answer 1

We have been given that Vonna scored 35 goals at soccer practice. Her ratio of goals to misses was 7:6.

Let x be number of misses of Vonna at soccer practice. We can set up a proportion of goals to misses as:

`\frac{\text{Goals}}{\text{Misses}} =(7)/(6)`

Upon substituting number of goals in our proportion we will get,

`\frac{\text{35}}{x} =(7)/(6)`

Upon cross multiplying our equations we will get,

Let us find
`35\cdot 6=7x`

Upon dividing both sides of our equation by 7 we will get,

`x=(35* 6)/(7)`

`x=5* 6=30`

Therefore, Vonna missed 30 times at her soccer practice.
