You can put this solution on YOUR website! 35 out of 50 bike injuries in the state last year were head injuries.
Of each 10 bike injuries how many are to the head?
I tried to figure the proportion but can't quite get it...
-----------------------
head/bike injuries = head/bike injuries
---
x/10 == 35/50
---
x = 10(35/50)
x = 7
