Question

Anya’s team won 5 out of every 7 games this season. If the team played 28 games this season, how many games did they win?

Answer 1

Answer :-

• Total games won = 20.

Explanation :-

Given :

• Anya’s team won 5 out of every 7 games this season.

• Total matches played = 28.

To Find :

• The total games they won.

Solution :

Let the total games won be x.

We will solve this question using Proportion.

★ According to the Question,

5 : 7 :: x : 28.

So, We know that,

❖ Product of Extremes = Product of Means.

Here,

• Extremes = 28 and 5.

• Means = 7 and x.

⇒ 28 × 5 = 7x.

⇒ 7x = 140.

⇒ x = 140/7.

⇒ x = 20.

Therefore, Total games won = 20.
