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
