Answer 7

Ok, how about this problem?
A baseball team won 3 games for every 2 that they lost. In a season when the team played 160 hames, how many games did the win? @nikato

Answer 8

its kinda hard for me to explain this because the solution just comes to me.. but i'll try

so it says they win 3 for every 2. so this "pattern" repeats every 5 games

Answer 9

so if this "pattern" does repeat every 5 games, then how much repeats will it have in 160 games

Answer 10

160÷5?

Answer 11

yes. which is?

Answer 12

32

Answer 13

yes. and you know that in this "pattern" every single time it occurs again, 3 games are won.
if the pattern repeats 32 times, then how many games are won?

hint: it'll involve multiplication

Answer 14

32×3=96?

Answer 15

yes
