4/5 (probability of the goalie stopping the shot) × 20 (number of times)

4/5×20=16

The goalie made 16 blocks.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The goalie made 16 blocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

A high school soccer goalie blocked the ball from going into the goal 4 out of 5 times.

Ratio is 4/5 or 4:5

Let the number of blocks the goalie made be x

Relation forms:

\(\frac{4}{5} =\frac{x}{20}\)

=> \(5x=20\times4\)

=> \(5x=80\)

Dividing both sides by 5 we get;

x = 16

Hence, the goalie made 16 blocks.
