Final answer:
To determine the number of wins and losses, the ratio of wins to losses is needed. Without the ratio, it is impossible to calculate the exact numbers of wins and losses.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student's question asks about the ratio of wins to losses for a baseball team that played 160 regular season games, but the ratio itself is not provided in the question. To answer how many games they won and lost, the ratio is essential. Once the ratio is given, for example, if the ratio were 2:1 (meaning two wins for every loss), the total number of games can be divided into parts that represent wins and losses. If 'W' represents the number of wins and 'L' represents the losses, then W:L would be 2:1. By setting up the equations W + L = 160 and W/L = 2, one could solve for W and L using algebra.
