a Major League Baseball team hopes to win 96 out of their 160 games (normally there are 162 games, but imagine two have been cancelled), how many games out of 10 do they need to win on average? Round to the nearest whole number.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Out of 10, they need to win 6 games on average.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

The team hopes to win 96 out of 160 gomes. Out of 10, how many games that is?

So

96 wins - 160 games

x wins - 10 games

[tex]160x = 96*10[/tex]

[tex]160x = 960[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{960}{160}[/tex]

[tex]x = 6[/tex]

Out of 10, they need to win 6 games on average.
