The fans were depressed, for their team had won only 15 of the first 60 games. What was the team's win loss ratio after 60 games? Is it 15:45.

I am not sure if the words first and after change the calculation

Yes, the team's win/loss ration is 15:45.

If a basketball player makes free throws 90% of the time, about how many free throws would you expect him to make if he attempted 18?

16

16 cause 18 divided by 90=0.2 times 100=2.0 so 18-2=16. that formula always works! hope that helps u when u come to a problem like this again!

To calculate the win-loss ratio of a team, you need to know the number of wins and the number of losses. In this case, the team won only 15 of the first 60 games.

The win-loss ratio is typically expressed in the format of "wins:losses". So, if the team won 15 games out of 60, the win-loss ratio would be 15:45.

The words "first" and "after" do not change the calculation. They simply refer to the 60-game period being discussed. In this case, the team's win-loss ratio after 60 games would still be 15:45.
