Answer: 41.67 shots or 42 shots
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given 12 foul shots for 8 misses
12 = 8
We are to find how many misses are for 125 foul shots
This could also be represented like this;
125 = x
Now let's set up a fraction for that
[tex]\frac{12}{8}=\frac{125}{x}[/tex]
Divide
[tex]\frac{12}{8}=83\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Now that we've found how many she missed, we can mark the remaining as the shots she made.
To do that, subtract the =83\frac{1}{3} from the total (125)
125 - 83 = 41.67
However, since shots cannot be in decimals or in fractions, (for instance, you cannot make half a shot. It's all or nothing.)
Therefore, she missed either 41.67 shots or 42 shots.
