Question

A baseball team played 160 regular season games. The ratio of the number of games they won to the number of games they lost was three fifths. How many games did they​ win

Answer 1

Answer: They won 60 games and lost 100 games

Explanation: To find this, first, we need to keep in mind that for every 8 games they played, they won 3, and lost 5. With this, we need to do 160/8 and we will get 20. Finally, to find # of games won, we will do 3(20) which is 60, and to find # of games lost, we will do 5(20) which is 100. Hope this helped!
