A basketball team won 14 out of 20 games. What fractional part of the game did they win?
w-1/w
w/w+1
To find the fractional part of games the basketball team won, we need to divide the number of games won by the total number of games played.
In this case, the basketball team won 14 games out of a total of 20 games.
So, the fractional part of games won can be calculated as:
Fractional part = (Number of games won) / (Total number of games played)
Substituting the values:
Fractional part = 14 / 20
Simplifying this fraction, we can divide both numerator and denominator by 2:
Fractional part = 7 / 10
Therefore, the basketball team won 7/10, or 0.7, of the total games played.
14/20
Simplify that fraction.
