A baseball team wins 11 of its 25 games with no ties. Write the ratio of wins to losses.
it had 11 wins, and 14 losses, right?
11/14
Okay, we know the amount of wins (11)
Now find out the amount of losses. Subtract total games played by games won.
25-11 = 14 (losses)
the ratio for wins to losses would be:
11:14
To write the ratio of wins to losses, we need to find the number of losses.
Since the team played 25 games in total and there were no ties, we can subtract the number of wins from 25 to find the number of losses.
Number of losses = Total games - Number of wins = 25 - 11 = 14
Therefore, the ratio of wins to losses is 11:14.
