Question

At the beginning of a basketball season, the Spartans won 32 games out of 42 games. At this rate, how many games will they win in a normal 120- game season?

Answer 1

At the current rate, they will win 91 games

Firstly, we need to get their win rate or percentage

Mathematically, this will be the number of games won divided by the total number of games

We have this as;

`(32)/(42)\text{ = }(16)/(21)`

So, in a 120-game season, the number of games to be won will be;

`(16)/(21)*\text{ 120 = 91.42}`

To the nearest whole number, this is 91
