A hockey goalie got shot on 18 times . She saved 10 of the shots . Which ratio represents the amount of shots that went in to the amount of shots she saved ?

Respuesta :

Answer is   4:5

========================================================

Explanation:

She saved 10 shots out of 18 total, so that means 18-10 = 8 shots went in.

That forms the ratio 8:10 where we list the amount of shots that went in, followed by a colon, then the amount of shots that were saved. The order is important. From here, we divide both parts of the ratio by 2. The ratio 8:10 fully reduces to 4:5

Effectively, this means that for every 4 shots that went in, there were 5 shots that were blocked.

4:5

Saved shots: 10
Shot in: 8
8:10 -> 4:5 (simplified)
