To find out how many shots on goal Ruthie took, we can set up a proportion using the ratio of shots to goals.
If Ruthie scores 2 goals for every 7 shots, we can set up the proportion:
2 goals / 7 shots = 8 goals / x shots
Cross-multiplying, we have:
2 * x = 8 * 7
2x = 56
Dividing both sides by 2, we find:
x = 28
Therefore, Ruthie took 28 shots on goal.
To find the number of shots on goal Ruthie took, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
We know that for every 7 shots she takes, she scores twice. So, the proportion can be set up as:
7 shots / 2 goals = x shots / 8 goals
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
2 * x = 7 * 8
2x = 56
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
x = 56 / 2
x = 28
Therefore, Ruthie took 28 shots on goal.
To find out how many shots on goal Ruthie took, we can use the given information that for every 7 shots she takes, she scores twice.
Let's set up a ratio with shots taken to goals scored. Since she scores twice in every 7 shots, the ratio would be 7 shots: 2 goals.
We can then set up a proportion to solve for the total number of shots. The proportion would be:
7 shots / 2 goals = x shots / 8 goals
Cross multiplying, we get:
(7 shots)(8 goals) = (2 goals)(x shots)
56 shots = 2x
Divide both sides by 2:
56 shots / 2 = 2x / 2
28 shots = x
Therefore, Ruthie took 28 shots on goal.
So, the correct answer is 28 shots.
