Steven's basketball team won 5 out of their first 12 games. If they continue to win at this rate, how many games will they lose if they play 49 games?

They would lose 29 games if they play 49 games

They won 5 out of their first 12 games.

Hence the number of game lost in their first 12 games = 12 - 5 = 7  games

The rate at which they lose = 7 games / 12 games

Given that they played 49 games, hence:

Number of games lost = (7 games / 12 games) * 49 = 28.58

They would lose 29 games if they play 49 games

Number of game lose = 29 games (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Winning part = 5/12

Total game = 49

Find:

Number of game lose

Computation:

Lose part = 1 - 5/12

Lose part = 7/12

Number of game lose = Total game x Lose part

Number of game lose = 49 x [7/12]

Number of game lose = 28.58

Number of game lose = 29 games (Approx)

it should be a.
