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

Answer 1

If Ruthie scores 2 goals for every 7 shots, we can set up a proportion to find out how many shots she took when she scored 8 times.

We know that:

• For every 2 goals scored, she takes 7 shots.
• If she scored 8 goals, we can determine how many sets of 2 goals are in 8 goals:

\[ \text{Number of sets of 2 goals} = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \]

Now, since each set of 2 goals requires 7 shots, we can find the total number of shots by multiplying the number of sets by the number of shots per set:

\[ \text{Total shots} = 4 \times 7 = 28 \]

Therefore, Ruthie took 28 shots on goal.
