Question

Sue plays on a soccer team. In one game this season, she scored 8 goals, which was one-fourth of the goals she scored for the whole season. How many goals in all did she score this season? (Please show work)

Answer 1

8 × 4 = 32
or
8 ÷ 1/4 = 32
or
x = number of goals Sue scored this season

x × 1/4 = 8
now divide both sides by 1/4
x × 1/4÷1/4 = 8÷1/4
x = 32

Answer: 32 goals in all scored Sue this season.
