Question

After 50 soccer games, the ratio of wins to losses is 3:7. How many games did the team win? Explain how you found your answer

Answer 1

Answer:The team won 15 games

Step-by-step explanation:

Given no of soccer games =50

Ratio of wins to losses =3:7

Let no of wins =$3x$

and no of losses =$7x$

Now

$3x+7x=50$

$10x=50$

Dividing both sides by 10

x=5

So no of wins =3x =$3\times5$

=15

We found  the answer as 10 parts equals 50

So 3 parts equals 15
