Question

The Cougar volleyball team won 3/4 of their games this year and 2/3 of their games last year. They play 24 games each year. How many more games did they win this year than last year?

Answer 1

2 more games

Explanation:

this year

24/4 = 6

6*2 = 18

last year

24/3 = 8

8*2 = 16

18-16=2

Answer 2

2 games

Explanation:

First, find how many that won this year by multiplying 24 by 3/4

24(3/4)

= 18

Find how many they won last year by multiplying 24 by 2/3

24(2/3)

= 16

Find the difference:

18 - 16

= 2

So, they won 2 more games this year than last year
