Answer 2

Answer: 40 passes

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this we have to use proportions:

Proportion = Passes catched/ football games

Bobby catches 8 passes in 3 football games: 8/3

For 15 games: x/15

8 /3 = x/15

Solving for x

(8/3)15 =x

40 = x

He catches 40 passes in 15 games.
