A high school soccer goalie blocked the ball from going into the goal 4 out of 5 times. If the ball kicked toward the goal 25 times,how many blocks did the goalie make ?
We can use a ratio expression to find the answer to this problem.
Set up the ratio. 4/5 = x/25 Multiply both sides by 25. 100/5 = x Divide by 5. 20 = x This means out of 25 times the ball is kicked toward the goal, the goalie will block it 20 times.
