Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a set of seven adjacent rectangles labeled as Shots. Another set of two adjacent rectangles is labeled as Scores and is placed below Shots. All rectangles have the same dimensions. A downward-facing bracket is placed below the set of two rectangles and points to the number 8.

Ruthie takes 56 shots on goal.
The illustration shows that Ruthie scores twice for every 7 shots she takes on goal. Since she scored 8 times, this means she must have taken 8 multiplied by 7 shots. Therefore, Ruthie took 56 shots on goal.
To answer the question, we need to understand the relationship between shots and scores as illustrated in the image. We can see that for every 7 shots Ruthie takes, she scores 2 times.
From the image, we can observe that there are 2 rectangles labeled as "Scores." This means that Ruthie scores twice.
The downward-facing bracket points to the number 8, indicating that Ruthie scored 8 times.
To find out how many shots she took, we can use the given relationship of 7 shots to 2 scores.
We can set up a proportion:
7 shots / 2 scores = x shots / 8 scores
Cross-multiplying, we get:
2 * x shots = 7 * 8 scores
Simplifying, we have:
2x = 56
Dividing both sides by 2, we find:
x = 28
Therefore, Ruthie took 28 shots on goal.
So the correct answer is 28 shots.
