Question 1197723
Follow the description and question just the way they are given.  Nothing more and nothing less.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
the panthers won 30 games out of 80 games. how many will they win in a normal 90 game season?
----------------------------------------------------------------



The first part tells you   {{{(30*won)/(80*totalgames)=(30/80)(won/totalgames)=(3/8)(won/totalgames)}}}.


That is to be the expected ratio of games won to total games played.



The question is ,  how many games expecting to win if the panthers play 90 games (in a season)?   NOW you could set up a proportion  ,  if you want or are required to.


You should be comfortable with THIS:

{{{(3/8)(won/totalgames)=(w/90)(won/totalgames)}}}

{{{3/8=w/90}}}

{{{(3/8)90=w}}}

{{{w=(3*45)/4}}}

{{{w=33.75}}}-----------------BUT you must take a whole value.   You might predict number of wins to be 33 or 34.   The value of w "solved" nearest to 34.

FAST WAY-------

How many games won if 90 games played?

{{{90*totalgames*(30/80)(won/totalgames)}}}

{{{90(3/8)}}}

{{{33.75}}}{{{won}}}

Round to nearst whole,    34.
