Answer:
The total number of matches expected to be won by Lakewood Wildcats in this season is 20.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of games played by Lakewood Wildcats = 7
Number of matches won by Lakewood = 5
or, the ratio of Won : Played = 5: 7
Total numbers of games in the season = 28
Let the Lakewood Wildcats win m number of games.
Here, ratio of Won Matches : Played Matches = m : 28
Now, by RATIO OF PROPORTIONALITY:
[tex]\frac{5}{7} = \frac{m}{28}[/tex]
⇒[tex]m = \frac{28 \times 5}{7} = 20[/tex]
or, m = 20
Hence, the total number of matches expected to be won by Lakewood Wildcats out of total 28 matches is 20.
