Question

The Raven won 9 baseball games for every 4 that they lost. If they lost 28 games how many games did they win?

Answer 1

for every 4 lost games , games won = 9

for every 1 lost game , games won = 9/4

for every 28 games lost , games won = 9/4 * 28

= 252/4

=63 games

what we did is that we first divided 9 by 4 to find the number of games won for every 1 game lost

Now once we get number of games won for every 1 game lost

we can simply multiply it by 28 to get the number of games won , for 28 lost games.

So answer is 63 games

Answer 2

the answer is 7 because 28/4 equals 7
