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
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.
In 2008, the only team to lose 16 games were the, Detroit Lions. They finished that 2008 season with an 0-16 record.
The answer depends on how many, if any, were drawn.
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.
Let the number of games the team lost be ( x ). Since the team won 22 more games than it lost, the number of games won is ( x + 22 ). The total number of games played is the sum of wins and losses, so we have the equation: ( x + (x + 22) = 68 ). Solving this gives ( 2x + 22 = 68 ), leading to ( 2x = 46 ) and ( x = 23 ). Therefore, the team lost 23 games.
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.
It lost 4/15, of course!
They won 16 games.

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. :}
