Question

A baseball team is in second place with the wind to loss ratio of .535. what percent of the games played did the team win?

Answer 1

Answer:

34.85%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the probability of winning, then probability of losing would be (1 - w)

We know the ratio of winning to losing is 0.535

w/(1 - w) = 0.535

w = 0.535 - 0.535w

1.535w = 0.535

w = 0.348534202

% of games won:

0.348534202 × 100

34.8534202%
