Question

A chess player won four games for every five games played if he played 35 games how many did he win

Answer 1

#wins = 28

Explanation:

The total number of games played was 35. The data we have further separates this into groupings of five, so the first step is to work out how many groups of five in 35. Hence:

x = 35/5

x = 7

The next information we have is that he won four games for every five played, and so we can multiply 7 by 4 to achieve the end result. Hence:

#wins = 7*4

#wins = 28

Hope that helps!
