Start by setting up the equation [tex] \frac{3}{2} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{27}{x} [/tex] and cross multiply

27 · 2 = 3x

then simplify

54 = 3x

and solve

x = 18


The team lost 18 games.


And to find out how many total games they played, take 27 and add it to 18.

27 + 18 = 45


The team played 45 games.

Won : Lost = 3 : 2


Find total number of parts:

Total parts = 3 + 2 = 5


Find 1 part:

3 parts = 27

1 part = 27 ÷ 3 = 9


Find total parts:

5 parts = 9 x 5 = 45


(a) The team played 45 games


45 - 27 = 18


(b) The team lost 18 games
