Problem: how do i do this fraction problem
I had a .40 caliber with 15 rounds magazines I hit the target 4 out of 5 times write the smallest fraction tha reoersents qualifing which is 4/5 If I have two magazines how many missies would I be allowed to qualify for

x/15 = 4/5
x = (4/5) * 15
x = 12

For two magazines, to keep the same ratio,
multiply the hits by 2.

x = 2 * 12
x = 24

If you want to work it out, two magazines hold 30 rounds.

x/30 = 4/5
x = (4/5) * 30
x = 24
