If Keith plays 10 more games, how many of the 10 games is he likely to win?
A. 6 games
B. 8 games
C. 4 games
D. 2 games
Since he won 12 out of 20 in his first games, how many games do you think he'll win in the next 10 games?
8 games
No.
Since he played half as many games, I'd predict he'd win half as many as he did for the first round.
To determine how many games Keith will likely win out of the 10 additional games, we need to analyze the results of the games he has already played.
From the given information, we know that Keith has played a total of 4 + 12 + 4 = 20 games. Out of these games, he has won 12.
To find the likelihood of Keith winning the additional 10 games, we can use the ratio of his previous wins to total games played.
Ratio of Wins to Total Games Played = Wins / Total Games Played
In this case, the ratio is 12 / 20 = 0.6.
To calculate the number of games Keith is likely to win out of the 10 additional games, we can multiply the ratio by the number of additional games.
Number of Games Keith Is Likely to Win = Ratio of Wins to Total Games Played × Number of Additional Games
Number of Games Keith Is Likely to Win = 0.6 × 10 = 6 games
Therefore, Keith is likely to win 6 out of the 10 additional games.
The answer is A. 6 games.
