The teams ratio of games won to games played was 9 to 11. If the team played 66 games, how many did the team win? Explain your answer.
( 9 / 11 ) * 66 = 594 / 11 = 54
OR
In 11 matches team have 9 won.
66 = 6 * 11
Tim will hawe 6 * 9 = 54 won
To find the number of games won, we need to find the fraction or ratio of games won out of the total number of games played.
The ratio given is 9 to 11, which means for every 9 games won, 11 games were played.
Since we know the team played a total of 66 games, we can set up a proportion to solve for the number of games won.
Let x represent the number of games won. The proportion becomes:
9/11 = x/66
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
9 * 66 = 11 * x
594 = 11 * x
Divide both sides of the equation by 11:
594/11 = x
x = 54
Therefore, the team won 54 games.
