Question

After 50 soccer games, the ratio of wins to losses is 3:7. How many games did the team win? Explain how you found your answer

Answer 1

Answer:The team won 15 games

Explanation:

Given no of soccer games =50

Ratio of wins to losses =3:7

Let no of wins =
`3x`

and no of losses =
`7x`

Now

`3x+7x=50`

`10x=50`

Dividing both sides by 10

x=5

So no of wins =3x =
`3*5`

=15

We found the answer as 10 parts equals 50

So 3 parts equals 15
