A baseball team played 154 regular season games. The ratio of the number of games they won to the number of games they lost was

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Number of games won = 110

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total games played = 154

The ratio of number of games won to number of games lost = $\frac{5}{2}$

Solution:

Let the number of games won be = $5x$

Thus, number of games lost = $2x$

The total games played can be given as = $5x+2x=7x$

Thus, we have:

$7x=154$

Dividing both sides by 7.

$\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{154}{7}$

∴ $x=22$

So, number of games won = $5\times 22 = 110$
