Answer:
the lower right matrix is the third correct choice
Step-by-step explanation:
Your problem statement shows that you have correctly selected the matrices representing the initial problem setup (middle left) and the problem solution (middle right).
Of the remaining matrices, the upper left is an incorrect setup, and the lower left is an incorrect solution matrix.
__
We notice that in the remaining matrices on the right that the (2,3) term is 0, and the (3,2) and (3,3) terms are both 1.
The easiest way to get a 0 in the 3rd column of row 2 is to add the first row to the second. When you do that, you get ...
Already, we see that the second row matches that in the lower right matrix.
The easiest way to get 1's in the last row is to divide that row by 0.15. When we do that, the (3,4) entry becomes 2100/0.15 = 14000, matching exactly the lower right matrix.
The correct choices here are the two you have selected, and <em>the lower right matrix</em>.
A ratio of 3:2.
The easiest way to go about this is to divide the actual number of wins (18) by its corresponding element in the ratio.
So:
This means every element on the ratio has a value of 6.
The amount of element in the ratio that correspond to losses is 2.
Multiply the actual amount of matches per element in the ratio by the number of elements that represents the losses in the ratio.
Your answer:
<em>"The team lost 12 games."</em>
