1. A baseball team played 32 games and lost 8 , Katy was the çatcher in \( \frac{5}{8} \) of the winning games and of the losing games. a. What fraction of the games did the team win?

To find the fraction of games that the baseball team won, we can follow these steps: 1. **Determine the total number of games played and lost:** - Total games played = 32 - Games lost = 8 2. **Calculate the number of games won:** \[ \text{Games won} = \text{Total games} - \text{Games lost} = 32 - 8 = 24 \] 3. **Calculate the fraction of games won:** \[ \text{Fraction of games won} = \frac{\text{Games won}}{\text{Total games}} = \frac{24}{32} \] 4. **Simplify the fraction:** \[ \frac{24}{32} = \frac{3}{4} \] Thus, the fraction of the games that the team won is \(\frac{3}{4}\).
