catch in 15 games?

40 passes

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Bobby catches 8 passes in 3 football games

so

using proportion

Find out how many passes does he  catch in 15 games

40 passes

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this we have to use proportions:

Proportion = Passes catched/ football games

Bobby catches 8 passes in 3 football games: 8/3

For 15 games: x/15

8 /3 = x/15

Solving for x

(8/3)15 =x

40 = x

He catches 40 passes in 15 games.

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following

really really sorry if i'm

-12 -5(x + 4) = 3x

-12 - 5x - 20 = 3x

-12 - 20 - 5x = 3x

-32 - 5x = 3x

    + 5x   + 5x

-32 = 8x

8         8

- 4= x
