If Ruthie scores 8 times, which is represented by the set of two rectangles labeled as "Scores," it means she took 8 shots on goal in total. Since every 7 shots she takes on goal, she scores twice, we can deduce that the set of seven rectangles labeled as "Shots" represents 14 shots.
Therefore, Ruthie took 14 shots on goal.
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a set of seven adjacent rectangles labeled as Shots. Another set of two adjacent rectangles is labeled as Scores and is placed below Shots. All rectangles have the same dimensions. A downward-facing bracket is placed below the set of two rectangles and points to the number 8.
