Question

1. The ratio of wins, to ties, to losses of ahockey team is 11 : 2 : 8. If the team wins 44 games, how many games are there in the whole season? 2. The ratio of sunny days to overcast days in Vancouver is 3 :5. to the nearest day, how many sunny days are in Vancouver each year?

Answer 1

11:2:8=44:8:32
44+8+32=84
there are 84 games in the whole season. 


# of sunny days : total number of days is 3:(3+5)=3:8 (assuming there are only either sunny days or overcast days)
3:8=x:365
8x=3*365
x=137
there are 137 sunny days each year.
