IF THE RED SOX WON 55 GAMES OUT OF 100 PLAYED WHAT IS THE FRACTION OF WINS
55/100 = 11/20
11/20
To calculate the fraction of wins, you need to divide the number of wins by the total number of games played. In this case, the Red Sox won 55 games out of 100 played.
So, the fraction of wins can be calculated as:
Fraction of wins = Number of wins / Total number of games played
Substituting the values, we have:
Fraction of wins = 55 / 100
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5 in this case:
Fraction of wins = (55 ÷ 5) / (100 ÷ 5)
= 11 / 20
Therefore, the fraction of wins for the Red Sox is 11/20.
