Answer:

18 games

Explanation:

If Sarah's Volleyball team won 12 out of 14 games, then their win rate is 12/14. You can simplify this fraction down to 6/7 to make it easier, but you don't have to.

If they keep the same rate of 6/7 (6 wins for every 7 games they win), you multiply the rate by the total games to get the number of wins. wins/games (rate) x total games = total wins, so 6/7 x 21 = 18.
