5 actual baskets made and 8 3-point tries. The ratio is 5:8.
You can make a proportion as follows,
5/8=60/x
5 and 60 are equivalent since both are 3-point tries.
What times 5 will equal 60? 12.
So if you multiply 5*12 you will get 60. And if you multiply 8*12 you will get 96.
X=96.
The team tried 96 three-point baskets.
