Answer:
27 balls
Step-by-step explanation:
If Dianna and Becky stopped 9 out of 10 shots made against them.
It means they allowed in 1 out of 10 shots made against them.
This is best solved using ratios
Proportion of Shots Stopped : Proportion of Shots allowed=9:1
If the other team scores 3 points, it means the number of shots allowed =3
Let x be the number of shots stopped
Number of Shots Stopped : Number of Shots allowed=x:3
Therefore:
9:1=x:3

Cross multiplying
x=9 X 3 =27
Dianna and Becky stopped 27 balls from going into the net,
