Question

A school football team wins 4 games for every 1 game it loses. If the football team plays 70 games,how many games would you predict they won?

Answer 1

The school football team won 14 games

Solution:

Given that, school football team wins 4 games for every 1 game it loses

The football team plays 70 games

To find: Number of games won

From given statement, team wins 4 games for every 1 game it loses

So if they played 5 game, they win 1 game

For every 5 games played, they win 1 game

Divide 70 by 5 to predict the number of games won

`\rightarrow (70)/(5) = 14`

Therefore, the team won 14 games
