Question

A few years ago, the Colorado Rockies played 160 games and won 64. for every two games they won, how many games did they lose?

A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
D. 6

Answer 1

The answer is A 3.

In order to find this answer, we first have to find the number of games that they lost. To do so, we subtract the wins from the total.

160 - 64 = 96.

Now that we have the number of losses, we can divide wins by losses to get a ratio.

64/96 = 2/3

So for every 2 wins, we get 3 losses.

Answer 2

A. 3

Explanation:

Given: Colorado Rockies played 160 games and won 64.

To find: For every two games they won, how many games did they lose?

Solution: In order to find for every two games they won, how many games did they lose, we first need to find the number of games they lose.

So, we have

total games
`=160`

games won
`=64`

games lose
`=160-64=96`

Now, we need to find the ratio of number of games won to the number of games they lose

`=(64)/(96)`

`=(2)/(3)`

Therefore, the ratio is 2:3.

So, for every 2 games they won, they lose 3 games.

Hence, option A. 3 is correct.
