Question

a teams win-loss ratio was 3 to 2. if the team had won 20 games without a tie, how many games had they won?

Answer 1

So this ratio has 5 parts (the 3 and 2 added make 5).  We take the total games and divide by the total parts of the ratio
20/5=4

We now know that each part of the ratio is equal to 4 games.  So we multiply by the parts

3*4 = 12
2*4 = 8

Therefor our ratio is 12 to 8 or 12 wins to 8 losses

The team won 12 games

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

I bet the answer is 60because you multiply 20 by 3 (the wins) and 20 by 2 (the loss)
