What is a Ratio?

A ratio shows us the number of times a number contains another number.

The ratio of the number of baskets she missed during the tournament to the number of baskets she made is 3:8. Therefore, we can write,

(Number of baskets Missed)/ (Number of baskets made) = 3/8

If Jasmine missed 9 baskets during the tournament, then the ratio can be rewritten as,

(Number of baskets Missed)/ (Number of baskets made) = 3/8

9 / (Number of baskets made) = 3/8

(9×8)/3 = (Number of baskets made)

Number of baskets made = 24 baskets

Hence, the number of baskets Jasmine made is 24.
