Answer 1

Given:

Kianas soccer teams ratio of wins to losses is 5:3.

Her team has played 24 games.

To find:

The number of games they won.

Solution:

Let the number of games they won be 5x and the number of games they lost be 3x.

Total number of games is 24.

`5x+3x=24`

`8x=24`

`x=(24)/(8)`

`x=3`

Now, the number of games they won is:

Number of games they won =
`5x`

=
`5(3)`

=
`15`

Therefore, they won 15 games.
