Question

The Rangers won five of the first six games. how many of the next 30 games must the rangers wins have twice as many wins as losses?

Answer 1

Using proportions, it is found that they must win 19 of their next 30 games.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

We want a win-to-loss proportion of 2:1, which is equivalent to a win-to-total proportion of 2:3. We have that:

• The team will have won 5 + x games.

• The team will have played 36 games.

Hence:

$\frac{5 + x}{36} = \frac{2}{3}$

3(5 + x) = 72

15 + 3x = 72

3x = 57

x = 19.

The Rangers must win 19 of their next 30 games.
