Goals/Misses=3/7 right?   so we can set up a proportion; if she scores 24 goals it would go on top of the fraction to the left leaving an x in the bottom for misses   24/x=3/7      then you cross multiply getting 24(7)=3(x)   so simplify 168=3x          now divide both sides by 3
56=x   She missed 56 goals at practice.
