Question 10 • Math Models A

Jason practiced making soccer goals and kept track of the results. He missed 3 goals but made 9 in one practice session. What can Jason predict regarding goals made if his next practice session has 24 tries?

Answer
A
Jason will make 8 goals.
B
Jason will make 16 goals.
C
Jason will make 18 goals.
D
Jason will make 21 goals.

Explanation

Jason made 9 goals and missed 3, so he took 12 shots total. He made 9 out of 12, or 3 out of every 4 shots. If he takes 24 shots at the same rate, he can predict making 24 × 3/4 = 18 goals, which is choice C.
