Ruthie plays on a travel soccer league. For every 7 shots she takes on goal, she scores twice. If she scores 8 times, how mar

shots on goal did she take?

5 answers

To determine how many shots on goal Ruthie took, we start with the information that for every 7 shots, she scores 2 goals.

First, we find out how many sets of 2 goals are in 8 goals:

\[ \frac{8 \text{ goals}}{2 \text{ goals/set}} = 4 \text{ sets} \]

Since each set requires 7 shots, we multiply the number of sets by the number of shots per set:

\[ 4 \text{ sets} \times 7 \text{ shots/set} = 28 \text{ shots} \]

Therefore, the total number of shots on goal that Ruthie took is:

\[ \boxed{28} \]

Let's break it down again to make sure we understand the calculation correctly.

Ruthie scores 2 goals for every 7 shots she takes. To find out how many shots she took if she scored 8 goals, we can set up the relationship.

  1. Understanding the scoring rate:
    For every 7 shots, she scores 2 goals.

  2. Finding the number of scores for 8 goals:
    If she scored 8 goals, we want to figure out how many sets of 2 goals fit into 8 goals:

    \[ \frac{8 \text{ goals}}{2 \text{ goals/set}} = 4 \text{ sets} \]

  3. Finding total shots based on the sets:
    Since each set consists of 7 shots, the total number of shots taken can be calculated as follows:

    \[ 4 \text{ sets} \times 7 \text{ shots/set} = 28 \text{ shots} \]

Therefore, the total number of shots Ruthie took on goal is indeed:

\[ \boxed{28} \]

So what's the answer

The total number of shots on goal that Ruthie took is 28.

So the answer is:

\[ \boxed{28} \]
