Answer: 25

Explanation:

3 x

__ = ___

12 100

If 3 games were won out of a total of 12, we can use this number to determine about how many wins would happen if the total were 100.

We can cross mulltiply with the proportion above:

12x= 300

x= 25

Another method we can use is to use the probability. In other words, 3/12 wins= a probability of 1/4. When they ask how many out of something can be found using an outcome from a previous event, multiply that event by the new number, or 100.

1/4 of the games were won when the total was 12, so out of 100, we can do:

1/4 of 100 = 25.

25 wins expected

Hope this helps :)
