Question

One baseball team played 15 games throughout the season. If this baseball team won 9 of those games, what percent of the games did they win?

Answer 1

60%

Explanation:

9 out of 15, written in *fraction form* is 9/15, when reduced down, 9/15 becomes 3/5. When you insert 3/5 into a calculator you get 0.6 . Since percentage is based off a x/100, you move the decimal point of 0.6 over 2 units to the right, you get 60, so it would in final would be 60/100 which equals 60%

* ( Ex. 1 out of 3 = 1/3 )

Answer 2

The baseball team won 60% of the games they played.

Explanation:

To find the percentage of games the baseball team won, we can use the following formula:

percentage = (wins / total games) x 100

where wins is the number of games won and total games is the total number of games played.

Substituting the given values, we get:

percentage = (9 / 15) x 100

percentage = 0.6 x 100

percentage = 60%

Therefore, the baseball team won 60% of the games they played.
