Achess player won 48 of the games he played. if the ratio of wins to loses was 8: 7, how many games did he play total?

the answer would be 90

Step-by-step explanation:

first you multiply 8 until you get 48, which would be 6 times, then do the same thing for 7 (7x6), which would be 42 and just add it all together and you get 90

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
