Answer:

This team can lose 6 games and still achieve this goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we can create a proportion and solve by cross multiplying. The proportion should compare amount of losses to total games.

Ratio = Total

2/5 = x/15

Now cross multiply

15*2 = 5x

30 = 5x

6 = x

This means the team can lose 6 games and still keep the necessary ratio.
