If the ratio is 2:3, then
games won = 2/5 of 120 = 48
So, games lost is 3/5 of 120 = 72
The correct proportion would be
x/120 = 3/5
Consider. If the ratio is 2:3, the
won/lost = 2/3
won = 2/3 lost
lost+won=120
lost + 2/3 lost = 120
5/3 lost = 120
lost = 120 * 3/5 = 72
games won = 2/5 of 120 = 48
So, games lost is 3/5 of 120 = 72
The correct proportion would be
x/120 = 3/5
Consider. If the ratio is 2:3, the
won/lost = 2/3
won = 2/3 lost
lost+won=120
lost + 2/3 lost = 120
5/3 lost = 120
lost = 120 * 3/5 = 72
