Question

A baseball team played 32 games and lost 8. Katy was the catcher in 5/8 of the winning games and 1/4 of nthe losing games.

Answer 1

Answer:

fraction of the games did the team win is = $\frac{3}{4}$

Katy play game  = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

baseball team played = 32 games

lost = 8

Katy catcher = 5/8 of winning

Katy catcher =  1/4  of losing

to find out

What fraction of the games did the team win and  how many games did Katy play

solution

we know total game = 32 and lost 8

so win is total - lost = 32 - 8 = 24

so

fraction of the games did the team win is = $\frac{\frac{24}{8} }{\frac{32}{8} }$  

fraction of the games did the team win is = $\frac{3}{4}$

and

so total game 24 winning is  $\frac{5}{8}$

so katy winning is  $24*\frac{5}{8}$

katy winning = 3 × 5 = 15

and

losing  $\frac{1}{4}$

total lose game 8

so Katy  lose = 8 ×  $\frac{1}{4}$ = 2

so

Katy play game = 15 + 2 = 17
