Brad took 5 kicks and made 4 goals:
4
5
. Sydney will take 10 shots and she
wants to make an equivalent fraction of the goals. How many goals must she
make?
Sydney wants to make an equivalent fraction of Brad's goals. Since Brad made 4 goals out of 5 kicks, Sydney wants to make the same fraction of goals out of her shots.
To find out how many goals Sydney must make, we can set up a proportion:
4 / 5 = x / 10
Cross multiplying, we get:
5x = 4 * 10
5x = 40
Dividing both sides by 5, we find that:
x = 8
Therefore, Sydney must make 8 goals.
