Question

At the end of the 2000 baseball season the New York Yankees and Cincinnati reds Had one a total of 31 World Series the Yankees have 15.2 times as many hours world series as a red how many World Series did each team win?

Answer 1

The New York Yankees won 15 World Series and the Cincinnati Reds won 2 World Series.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion using the information given. Let x represent the number of World Series won by the Cincinnati Reds:

(15.2/1) = (31/x)

Cross multiplying gives us:

15.2x = 31

Dividing both sides by 15.2 gives us:

x = 31/15.2

Simplifying the fraction gives us:

x ≈ 2.04

Since we can't have a fractional number of World Series wins, we can round 2.04 to the nearest whole number, which is 2. Therefore, the New York Yankees won 15.2 times as many World Series as the Cincinnati Reds, with the Yankees having won 15 and the Reds having won 2.
