Question

A baseball team has won 16 of its first 27 games.At the rate, how many games will it win in a 162 game schedule

Answer 1

The answer is 96 because if you multiply 27 times 6 it equals to 162. So 16 times 6 equals 96.

Therefore the answer is 96.

Answer 2

16/27=x/162
Do cross multiplication
16*162=27x
2,592 =27x
96=x

At that rate the baseball will win 96 games in a 162 game schedule.
