Brad took 5 kicks and made 4 goals: 4/5.

This means denominator is total kicks and numerator is number of goals.

Now for Sydney total shots are 10.

so we have to find equivalent fraction of 4/5 with denominator as 10.

If we multiply denominator 5 by 2 we get denominator as 10.

So that means we have to multiply the fraction 4/5 with 2/2

(4)/(5) = (4*2)/(5*2)

This gives us 8/10 as equivalent fraction of 4/5.

Numerator represents goals.

Answer : Sydney must take 8 goals.
