During the basketball game, Jen made 4 times as many as she missed. If she made 12 shots, how many shots did she miss?
To find out how many shots Jen missed during the basketball game, we need to first determine the ratio between the shots she made and the shots she missed. Let's assume that for every shot she made, she missed x number of shots.
We know that Jen made 4 times as many shots as she missed. So, the ratio of shots made to shots missed is 4:1.
This means that for every 4 shots Jen made, she missed 1 shot.
If Jen made 12 shots, we can use this ratio to determine the number of shots she missed. Since the ratio is 4:1, we can divide the number of shots made by 4 to find the number of shots missed.
12 shots made ÷ 4 (ratio) = 3 shots missed
Therefore, Jen missed 3 shots during the basketball game.
