Andre took 6 kicks he made 4 goals : 4/6. Tom took 12 kicks. he wants to make an equivalent fraction of goals . how many goals does he have to make to be equal to 4/6? show your work
To find the equivalent fraction of goals that Tom needs to make in order to be equal to 4/6, we can set up a proportion:
4 goals/6 kicks = x goals/12 kicks
Cross multiplying, we get:
6 * x = 4 * 12
6x = 48
Dividing both sides by 6, we find:
x = 48/6
x = 8
Therefore, Tom needs to make 8 goals in order to be equal to 4/6.
