For every 5 she misses 3.. this is a proportion that can be set up as
5/3 = x/24

Steps:
1) cross multiple 5 (that she makes) times the 24 (that she missed.

2) cross multiply the 3 (that she misses) times the missing value.
Giving you 3x=5(24)

3) Solve 5(24)= 120 so that:

120=3x
4) Divide 120 by 3 to solve for x
5) X= 40

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the ratio 5:3 to answer the question.

5 = made free throws

3 = missed free throws

If she misses 24 free throws, compare the ratios 5:3 to x:24 (you are solving for x)

24 divided by 3 is 8, so multiply 5 by 8

You would get 40

Using the least number of coins how many quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies to make $1.74
SpyIntel [72]

Let's use our largest amount (quarter) to see how many can fit evenly into 1.74.

  • 1.74/0.25 = 6.96
  • The most quarters that can fit into $1.74 is 6.

---Multiply $0.25 by 6 = $1.50

---Subtract $1.50 from $1.74 = $0.24

---We need to use the rest of the coins to fill up $0.24.

Now let's use our second largest amount (dime) to see how many can fit evenly into 0.24.

  • 0.24/0.10 = 2.4
  • The most dimes that can fit into $0.24 is 2.

---Multiply $0.10 by 2 = $0.20

---Subtract $0.20 from $0.24 = $0.04

No nickels can fit into $0.04, because they are worth $0.05.

We can use our least amount (pennies) to fill in the $0.04 remaining.

Your answer is 6 quarters, 2 dimes, and 4 pennies.
