Using proportions, it is found that they won 14 games after the first 16 games.

  • This question is solved by <em>proportions</em>, using a rule of three.
  • For each 3 games they won, they lost 2.
  • They lost 12 games, all on the losing streak, and won x games.

Hence, the <em>rule of three</em> is:

2 losses - 3 wins

12 losses - x wins

Applying cross multiplication:

2x = 3(12)

x = \frac{36}{2}

x = 18

18 wins, being 18 - 4 = 14 after the first 16 games, hence, they won 14 games after the first 16 games.
