Let the number of games won be 3x and the number of games lost be 5x.
According to the given ratio, 3x / 5x = 3/5
Solving for x:
3x = 3/5 * 5x
3x = 3x
x = 1
Therefore, the number of games won is 3*1 = 3 games
And the number of games lost is 5*1 = 5 games
So, the team won 3 games and lost 5 games.

Let x represent the number of games won by the team.
Since the ratio of the number of games won to the number of games lost is 3/5, the number of games lost is 5x.
According to the given information, the team played a total of 160 games.
Therefore, x + 5x = 160
6x = 160
x = 160 / 6
x = 26.67
Since the number of games won must be a whole number, we can round down to 26:
Number of games won: 26
Number of games lost: 5 * 26 = 130
The team won 26 games and lost 130 games.
Since the ratio of the number of games won to the number of games lost is 3/5, the number of games lost is 5x.
According to the given information, the team played a total of 160 games.
Therefore, x + 5x = 160
6x = 160
x = 160 / 6
x = 26.67
Since the number of games won must be a whole number, we can round down to 26:
Number of games won: 26
Number of games lost: 5 * 26 = 130
The team won 26 games and lost 130 games.

Let x be the number of games the team won.
Since the ratio of the number of games won to the number of games lost is 3/5, the number of games lost is 5x.
Therefore, the total number of games won and lost is x + 5x = 6x.
Given that the team played 160 games, we can write the equation:
6x = 160
x = 160/6
x = 26.67
Since the number of games won must be a whole number, we can round down to 26:
Number of games won: 26
Number of games lost: 5 * 26 = 130
So, the team won 26 games and lost 130 games.
Since the ratio of the number of games won to the number of games lost is 3/5, the number of games lost is 5x.
Therefore, the total number of games won and lost is x + 5x = 6x.
Given that the team played 160 games, we can write the equation:
6x = 160
x = 160/6
x = 26.67
Since the number of games won must be a whole number, we can round down to 26:
Number of games won: 26
Number of games lost: 5 * 26 = 130
So, the team won 26 games and lost 130 games.
the answer is they won 60 games and lost 100 games
Let's correct the solution:

According to the given information, the team played a total of 160 games.
Therefore, x + 5x = 160
6x = 160
x = 160 / 6
x = 26.67
Since the number of games won must be a whole number, we can round to the nearest whole number:
Number of games won: 27
Number of games lost: 5 * 27 = 135
The team won 27 games and lost 135 games. Thank you for the correction.
