Question

A soccer team played 25 games last season. They won 16 games, lost 5 games, and tied the rest.

What fraction of the games was a tie?

Answer 1

Explanation:

16% or 4/25

16 + 5 = 21

25 - 21 = 4

4/25 = 16%

This is right because 21/25 is 84% and 84% + 16% = 100%

Answer 2

16% or 4/25

Explanation:

16 + 5 = 21

25 - 21 = 4

4/25 = 16%

This is right because 21/25 is 84% and 84% + 16% = 100%
