Using proportions, it is found that they must win 19 of their next 30 games.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
We want a win-to-loss proportion of 2:1, which is equivalent to a win-to-total proportion of 2:3. We have that:
- The team will have won 5 + x games.
- The team will have played 36 games.
Hence:
3(5 + x) = 72
15 + 3x = 72
3x = 57
x = 19.
The Rangers must win 19 of their next 30 games.

Short side length = x
Medium side = x + 7
Long side = 5x
Total 49, so
x + x + 7 + 5x = 49
If you combine like terms:
7x + 7 = 49
Subtract 7 from both sides
7x = 42
Divide both sides by 7
x = 6 inches.
