Answer:
Alyssa's team won 20 games.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can introduce a variable that represents how many games Alyssa's team won.
Let x<em> </em>represent how many games Alyssa's team won.
We can now create a expression, we know that her team won 5 out of 7 games which would be equivalent to the fraction 5/7. We also know her team has played 28 games and five sevenths (5/7) of those they won.
This would give us the expression 5/7 = x/28.
We need to do this because 5/7 is equivalent to x the numbers of games they won over 28 the number of games they played.
Solving for 5/7 = x/28 we have:
5/7 = x/28
We need to isolate x on the right side to do so we can multiply both sides by 28.
5/7 * 28 = x/28*28 simplifying
20 = x.
Therefore the number of games Alyssa's team won is 20 games.
