Question

2. A football team plays 28 games and wins 4 out of every 7 games played. No match ended in a draw. 20 (a) How many times has this football team lost?​

Answer 1

Win to lose ratio = 4:3
This ratio has 7 parts to it. 28/7 = 4 so the ratio should be multiplied by 4.
This gives a ratio of 16:12 which has 28 parts.
The first part of the ratio is how many times they won. The second part is how many times they lost so the answer is 12
