do it like this:
1) number of games = 150
so that means that
2) wins + losses = 150, right?
ok so we know that there were 30 more wins than losses, so we could say:
3) wins - 30 = losses
then we can plug equation 3 into equation 2:
4) wins + (wins - 30) = 150
or
5) wins + wins - 30 = 150
or
6) 2*wins - 30 = 150
add 30 to both sides and we get:
7) 2* wins = 180
divide both sides by 2 and we get
8) wins = 90
so if the team won 90 games, and they won 30 more than they lost, then:
90 - 30 = 60 losses
60
7 games total minus the 2 games that the team has won equals 5 games. Since the team has played 7 and won 2, that means they have lost 5 games. Therefore, the fraction of the games the team has lost is 5/7 because 5 is the games lost and 7 is the total number of games played.
Yes. Lou Gehrig, like every other baseball player, has lost games during the season. He was a first baseman and part of a team.
1972 ... the Reds lost to Oakland 4 games to 3.
The answer depends on how many, if any, were drawn.
In 2008, the only team to lose 16 games were the, Detroit Lions. They finished that 2008 season with an 0-16 record.
you lost or tied 50
they lost 17 games
Fraction of games won: 7/12 Fraction of gams lost: 5/12
Which pitcher? There have been MANY pitchers that have won more games than they lost.
15??? or 12
14
7 games total minus the 2 games that the team has won equals 5 games. Since the team has played 7 and won 2, that means they have lost 5 games. Therefore, the fraction of the games the team has lost is 5/7 because 5 is the games lost and 7 is the total number of games played.
They won 16 games.
It lost 4/15, of course!

You will have to use, the percentage formula. "X" / 60 games = 15 / 100. you should get 900 from cross multiplying 60 * 15 =900 Then you divide 900/ 100 = 9 games. You're answer is 9 games, they lost. :}
Now tell me how are we suppose to know???:P
