Question

At the beginning of a basketball season the Panthers won40 games out of 17 games at this rate how many games will they win in a normal 120 game season

Answer 1

Answer:

51

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem states "the Panthers won 40 games out of 17 games"

It is impossible to win more games than the number of games.

Perhaps the problem should state "the Panthers won 17 games out of 40 games"

If this is correct, then we can answer the question with a proportion.

17 wins is to 40 games as x wins is to 120 games

17/40 = x/120

40 * x = 17 * 120

Divide both sides by 40.

x = 17 * 3

x = 51

Answer: 51
