Question

during a recent soccer season, the starting forward made 10 out of 27 shots on goal. at this rate, how many goals would the forward make next season if 35 shots on goal were taken? explain how you determined your answer.

Answer 1

Explanation:

10 goals out of 27 attempts gives a ratio of

10/27 = 0.37037037... goals per shot.

now, for 35 shots we expect

35 × 10/27 = 350/27 = 12.96296296... ≈ 13 goals
