Question

The volleyball team has a record of 6 wins and 2 losses. What other team has a proportional win-loss record? Basketball: 12 wins, 5 losses Football: 3 wins, 1 loss Wrestling: 12 wins, 6 losses Debate: 3 wins, 4 losses

Answer 1

The number of win and losses of the volleyball team is related by a constant number, 3. This means that they're proportional. To find if the other teams also have proportional win-loss records we need to divide the number of their wins by the number of losses, if the result is an integer number, then they're proportional. We have:

`\begin{gathered} \text{ basketball=}(12)/(5)=2.4 \\ \text{ football=}(3)/(1)=3 \\ \text{ wrestling=}(12)/(6)=2 \\ \text{ debate =}(3)/(4)=0.75 \end{gathered}`

Since the football team has a proportional win-loss record with the same proportion as the Volleyball team, then this is the correct answer.
