Question

The number of goals scored by a soccer team varies directly as the number of shots on goal. If the Lakeside Bears scored 4 goals after 48 shots on goal, how many more shots on goal should the team take to score 3 more goals?
number of additional shots on goal to score 3 more goals:______

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of additional shots on goal to score 3 more goals is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of goals scored

y ---> the number of shots on goal

we know that

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{4}{48}$ ----> equation A

so

For x=3

substitute the value of x and solve for y

$\frac{3}{y}=\frac{4}{48}$

$y=\frac{48}{4}(3)$

$y=36$

therefore

The number of additional shots on goal to score 3 more goals is 36
