the cougars baseball team played 16 games last year and won 12 of them. this year they are scheduled to play 28 games. if the end up with the same winning percentage, how many games will they win

They won 21 games

Step-by-step explanation:

First take the 12 out of 16 games they have won and make it a fraction, 12/16. Then divide 12 by 16, 12 ÷ 16 and then you get, 0.75 then as always multiply it by 100 and get 75 (you can also just move the decimal over 2 places) Then after that you smack that percentage sign on 75 and get %75. So now we know that the Cougars baseball team won %75 of there games. Now take 28 and put it as a fraction, but! You need two numbers for it to be a proper fraction to we will replace the numerator with W to represent how many games they won, so now you should have something like this W/28, so now we find the value of W and by doing that just guess and check (it cant be over 28 so it must be under 28) and when your looking for your number do W ÷ 28 and try to get 0.75 and when you get that (that being 21 ÷ 28 = 0.75 ) you now know that 21 is your answer.

Hope this helps but im in 6th so dont quote me on this some of the explanation might not be clear to you but it is to me hope you can figure it out
