    To answer this I believe you have to use cross-multiplication. If she scores 4 goals in 6 games, how many would she score in 21 games? We can set up the equation 4/6 = x/21. This implies that both sides are equal, hence the same rate of scoring. Now all that's left is to solve for x. You have to cross-multiply, so 4 times 21 = 84, and 6 times x = 6x. Now the equation looks like 84 = 6x. Now divide by 6 on both sides to solve for x. 84 divided by 6 = 14. So Latasha scored 14 goals in the season.
