Answer: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

I can see the answer is 40, but let's try to figure out how to do it.

I like to use the rule of 3. Let's put the number of passes on the left side and the number of games on the right side.

[tex]\frac{8}{x}=\frac{3}{15}[/tex]

''x'' represents the number of passes in 15 games.

Solve for x;

[tex]x=\frac{15*8}{3}\\ x=\frac{120}{3}\\ x=40[/tex]
