24*27 = 648

648/36 = 18

calculista

we know that

Margo won \(24\) out of her last \(36\) tennis matches

so

by proportion

Find the number of matches she would win out of her next \(27\) matches

\(\frac{24}{36}\frac{wins}{matches}=\frac{x}{27}\frac{wins}{matches} \\ \\x*36=27*24\\ \\x=(27*24)/36\\ \\x=18\ wins\)

therefore

the answer is

\(18\ wins\)
