Question

The Atlanta Braves baseball team has a ratio of 8 wins to 6 losses. If they play 154 games, how many games did they win?

Answer 1

They won 88 games

Explanation:

In 14 games, they win 8 games. (6+8=14)

We can set up a proportion with this information.

8/14=x/154

Cross multiply to solve.

14x=1232

Divide both sides by 14.

x=88
