EXPLANATION
If the height of the can is 4 inches and the diameter is 3--> radius=1.5 inches, the area is given by the following relationhip:
Replacing terms:
The approximate area is 37.7 in^2
A ratio of 3:2.
The easiest way to go about this is to divide the actual number of wins (18) by its corresponding element in the ratio.
So:
This means every element on the ratio has a value of 6.
The amount of element in the ratio that correspond to losses is 2.
Multiply the actual amount of matches per element in the ratio by the number of elements that represents the losses in the ratio.
Your answer:
