You're very welcome, Samantha! I'm delighted you're doing great in math. You go, Girl!! :-)
ms. sue and samatha are you guys here 8 years later?
20:30=24:36
marica stopped 24 shots
last week she stopped 2/3 of the shots. What is 2/3 of 36?
Cross multiply and solve for x.
20/30 : x/36
Or --
Since she stopped 2/3 of the shots one week, she must have stopped 2/3 of the shots the next week.
