Respuesta :

To find the number of games they will win out of 162 using the ratio 6 to 8, you will create equivalent ratios and solve the proportion.

6  =  x
8     162    Use cross products.  

6 x 162 = 8x
972 =  8x
8         8
x = 121.5

They must win approximately 122 games to maintain this ratio.
