In the last three years, Frederico’s basketball team won 40 more games than they lost. If they won 150 games, what was their ratio of wins to losses? Show the ratio in three different ways.

Sagot :

since the team's win is 40 more than their losses and that they won 150 games, then the number of losses is 150 - 40
number of losses = 150 - 40
                         = 110 losses
then the ratio of their wins to their losses can be expressed as:
 150/110    or in lowest term  15/11
150:110     or in lowest term  15:11
150 is to 110   or in lowest term 15 is to 11
