Answer:

Writing the information in the form of ratio

Three point basket = Three point tries

3 : 4

27 : x

Think about multiplication , how many 3s do you need to make 27 ?

Its 27 ÷ 3= 9

Because you need 9 lots of 3, Then to make it proportional , you'd need 9 lots of 4

9×4 = 36

Three points tries is 36
