A teams win-loss ratio was 3 to 2. If the team had played 20 games without a tie, how many games had it won?
So this ratio has 5 parts (the 3 and 2 added make 5). We take the total games and divide by the total parts of the ratio
20/5=4
We now know that each part of the ratio is equal to 4 games. So we multiply by the parts
34 = 12
24 = 8
Therefor our ratio is 12 to 8 or 12 wins to 8 losses
The team won 12 games
Hope that helps.
Out of the 20 games they have played the team has won 12 games.
The number of times one value contains or is contained within the other in a quantitative relationship between two numbers.
Let the no. of matches the team plays = x
The no. of matches they win = 3x
The no. of matches they lose = 2x
As they play 20 matches according to the question:
2x + 3x = 20
5x = 20
x = 4
The no. of matches they win = 3x = 3 * 4 = 12 matches
Hence the team wins 12 matches in total
