Question

The girl’s hockey team won 6 games, lost 3 games, and tied 2 games. What fraction of the games did they win?

Answer 1

They won 6/11 games.

When you add the games they won, lost, and tied you see that they played a total of 11 games. It tells you that they won 6 games so you would put 6 as the numerator and 11 as the denominator and get 6/11.

Answer 2

The correct answer to this problem is 6/11.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we first must figure out how many total games the girl’s hockey team played. To do this, we should add up their wins, ties, and losses.

6+3+2=11

Therefore, they played 11 games total. To find the fraction of games that they won, we make the number of games that they won (6) the numerator, and the total number of games played (11) the denominator.

This gives us the following fraction: 6/11, which is your answer.

Hope this helps!
