Ruthie plays on a travel soccer league. For every 7 shots she takes on goal, she scores twice, If she scores 8 times, how many shots on goal did she take?
A 8 shots
B 28 shots
C 36 shots
D 56 shots
For every 7 shots on goal, Ruthie scores twice. In other words, the ratio of shots on goal to goals is 7:2.
If she scores 8 times, the ratio becomes 7:8.
To find the total number of shots on goal, we can set up a proportion:
7/2 = x/8
Cross-multiplying, we get:
2x = 7 * 8
2x = 56
x = 56/2
x = 28
Therefore, Ruthie took 28 shots on goal.
The answer is B) 28 shots.
