Sarahs volleyball team won 12 games of their first 18 games. if the continue to win at this rate, how many games will they lose if they play 36 games

They lost 12 games.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion.

12/18 = x/36

36 x 12 = 432

432/18 = 24

Because 18 represents how many games they won, the 24 also represents how many games they won. Therefore, you must subtract to find the amount of times that they lost.

36 - 24 =  12

they lost 12 games
