A high school soccer goalie blocked the ball from going into the goal 4 out of 5 times. If the ball kicked toward the goal 25 times,how many blocks did the goalie make ?

Respuesta :

We can use a ratio expression to find the answer to this problem.

Set up the ratio.
4/5 = x/25
Multiply both sides by 25.
100/5 = x
Divide by 5.
20 = x
This means out of 25 times the ball is kicked toward the goal, the goalie will block it 20 times.

Hello!

You have to find [tex] \frac{4}{5} [/tex] of 25

[tex] \frac{4}{5} = \frac{x}{25} [/tex]

Cross multiply

25 × 4 = 100

100 ÷ 5 = 20

The goalie made 20 blocks
