Question

Frosty plays basketball in a snowman league. His team won five of their first 9 games this season. There are 54 games in the season. How many games would Frosty's team be expected to win at this rate?

a) 30
b) 27
c) 25
d) 24

Answer 1

Frosty's team would be expected to win 30 games at this rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given information, Frosty's team won 5 out of 9 games played so far this season. To find out how many games they would be expected to win at this rate, we can set up a proportion:

5/9 = x/54

Cross multiplying, we get 9x = 5 * 54, so 9x = 270. Dividing both sides by 9, we find x = 30.

Therefore, Frosty's team would be expected to win 30 games at this rate.
