In basketball, some baskets are worth two points. others are worth three points. in one game, the ratio of three-point baskets to three-point tries for one team was 5: 7. if the team scored 45 points from three-point baskets, how many three-point tries did the team have?

Now in this scenario, they scored 45 points from three-point baskets. This means they got 15 baskets. Now we can convert this into ratio form and solve using cross multiplication:

5/7=15/x

5x=15*7

x=21

They had 21 three point tries. Hope this helps :) lmk if you need more help
