If 'he' wins 5 out of 13 games, that's an immediate ratio of 5:13.

Okay, now for the math.
I'm going to try a number line- but first, we have to know how many times 13 goes into 78.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
78 / 13 = 6
So now we multiply the ratio (5:13) by six...
30:78
That's the answer!
