After 50 soccer games, the ratio of wins to losses is 3:7. How many games did the team win? Explain how you found your answer

Respuesta :

Answer:The team won 15 games


Step-by-step explanation:

Given no of soccer games =50

Ratio of wins to losses =3:7

Let no of wins =[tex]3x[/tex]

and no of losses =[tex]7x[/tex]

Now

[tex]3x+7x=50[/tex]

[tex]10x=50[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 10

x=5

So no of wins =3x =[tex]3\times5[/tex]

=15

We found  the answer as 10 parts equals 50

So 3 parts equals 15
