At the current rate, they will win 91 games

Firstly, we need to get their win rate or percentage

Mathematically, this will be the number of games won divided by the total number of games

We have this as;

$(32)/(42)\text{ = }(16)/(21)$

So, in a 120-game season, the number of games to be won will be;

$(16)/(21)*\text{ 120 = 91.42}$

To the nearest whole number, this is 91
