A girl makes 12 foul shots for every eight shots that she misses how many shots did she make if she shot 125 foul shots ​

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

Divide

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.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
