Given:
Kianas soccer teams ratio of wins to losses is 5:3.
Her team has played 24 games.
To find:
The number of games they won.
Solution:
Let the number of games they won be 5x and the number of games they lost be 3x.
Total number of games is 24.
[tex]5x+3x=24[/tex]
[tex]8x=24[/tex]
[tex]x=\dfrac{24}{8}[/tex]
[tex]x=3[/tex]
Now, the number of games they won is:
Number of games they won = [tex]5x[/tex]
= [tex]5(3)[/tex]
= [tex]15[/tex]
Therefore, they won 15 games.
