Since we’ve been given a ratio, 3:8, we can convert that into a fraction and form an equation from it:
=
The reason the numerator on the second fraction is 27/3 is because the team scored 27 points, not 27 baskets.
Simplify (Also replace the ? with an unknown variable):
=
Cross multiply:
3*n = 9*8
Simplify:
3n = 72
Divide both sides by 3:
n = 24
The team had 33 three point tries, 9 successes, and 24 fails.

Answer:
Area = 370 m²
Cost to paint = £105
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the wall of a cinema hall = Area of a trapezoid (1)+ Area of a rectangle (2) + Area of a trapezoid (3)
Area of a trapezoid =
where and
are the parallel sides and h is the distance between these sides.
Area of trapezoid (1) =
= 69 m²
Area of the rectangle (2) = Length × Width
= 12 × 15
= 180 m²
Area of the trapezoid (3) =
= 121 m²
Now area of the wall = 69 + 180 + 121
= 370 m²
One tin covers the area = 25 m²
Number of tins required to paint the wall =
=
= 14.8
Therefore, number of tins to be purchased = 15
Cost to paint the complete wall = 15 × £7
= £105
