No, because the input repeated 4 twice and the output repeated 3 twice
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:
<em>"The team lost 12 games."</em>
Yes; his answer is correct.
John can do this by multiple ways, but most likely he just remembered this one. Here are some ways.
1. He used his fingers; he put 1 finger, then another finger, and got 2 fingers up. The answer is 2.
2. He remembered it; usually Kindergarteners learn this and this is very easy to remember.
3. He used the things around him; I have 1 crayon then add another, how many do I have? 2.
Answer:
The founding fathers would have welcomed the immigrants coming from worn torn countries with open arms. As seen in the quotations, the founding fathers say "Give me your tired, your poor"... indicating that they want those immigrants to come to America. They want people who are not fortunate and who are struggling to survive to come to America because America is open to all races and all those types of people. The founding fathers also say "Send these, homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!". Tempests, are storms, and people who are "tempest-tossed" are not in good condition. The founding fathers want people who are not in very stable conditions, and those who are "homeless" to come to the land of opportunity. America will open its "golden door" to those who are suffering.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 4a/5
a% of 80 = a% (80) = (a/100)(80) = 80a/100 = 4a/5
2) 17b/100 or 0.17b
17% of b = (17/100)(b) = 17b/100 [ = 0.17b ]
3) ab/100
a% of b = (a/100)(b) = ab/100
