Question

A baseball team loses twice as many games as it wins. The baseball season is 162 games long. How many games will the team lose?

Answer 1

They won 54 games and lost 108 games. I got 54 because 162 divided by 3 is 54. 54 times 2 equals 108. Add them together and it equals 162.

Answer 2

Answer:

The number of games will the team lose be 108 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

A baseball team loses twice as many games as it wins.

The baseball season is 162 games long.

Let us assume that the number of games  baseball team wins be x .

Let us assume that the number of games  baseball team losses = 2x

Thus

2x + x = 162

3x = 162

$x = \frac{162}{3}$

x = 54

Number of games  baseball team losses = 2 × 54

                                                                    = 108

Therefore the number of games team loses are 108 .
