If they won 3/4 of their games, then they lost 1/4 of their games. So, we can make a proportion.
let x = how many games they played the entire season.
1/4 = 18/x
Cross multiply.
x = 4(18)
x = 72
They played a total of 72 games.
Another way to solve this would be to make a percentage.
1/4 = 25%
let x = how many games they played in the entire season
25% of x = 18
0.25x = 18
18 divided by 0.25 is 72.
They played a total of 72 games.
