The Arizona Cardinals won ten games out of sixteen of their games during the 2009 regular season. At this rate, how many games do they need to pant to win 50 games?

This problem is dealing with ratios, and the ratio given 10:16. This ratio represents games won: total games and can simplified to 5:8. Since we need to get to fifty games that have been won, we need to multiply the ratio by ten. You'll get 50:80 games and the need to play 89 games in order to win fifty.
