Answer 2

6 games

Explanation:

Joey has won 3 out of the last 8 games of cards he has played with his brother. They play 16 more games, how many of those games does Joey expect to win?

8 games = 3 won

16 games = x

Cross Multiply

8x = 16 × 3

8x = 48

x = 48/8

x = 6

If they play 16 more games, Joey expects to win 6 games
