Question

Last season, a softball team played 18 games. The team won 15 of these games. What is the ratio of the softball team's wins to its total number of games played ?

Answer 1

Answer:

5:6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the total number of games played by the softball team = 18 games

Total games won = 15 games

Ratio of the softball team's wins to its total number of games played can be gotten by simply dividing the total games won by the total games played

Ratio = $\frac{total \ teams's win}{total\ number\ of \ games\ played}$

$Ratio = \frac{15}{18}$

Expressing the ratio in its lowest term

$Ratio = \frac{3*5}{3*6} \\\\Ratio = \frac{5}{6}$

Hence, the ratio of the softball team's wins to its total number of games played is 5:6
