Answer:

Graces expect her Favorite team can win 99 games.

Explanation:

Total games needs to be played = 162

So far graces favorite team won 11 games and lost 7 games

Games Won = 11

Games lost = 7

Total games played till now = Games Won + Games Lost = 11 +7 =18

Now we will find the winning percentage of the team.

Winning percentage can be calculated by dividing Games won with total games played till now and the multiplied with 100

Winning Percentage =
(11)/(18)*100=61.11\%

We need to find Total games team can win at same rate.

Games team can win can be calculated by multiplying Total games needs to be played this season with Winning Percentage.

Games team can win =
(61.11)/(100)* 162 = 98.99 \approx 99

Hence Graces can expect her favorite can win approximately 99 games.
