To find the answers to these questions, we'll need to do some simple calculations. Let's start with part (a).

(a) To find the basketball team's ratio of wins to losses, we divide the number of wins by the number of losses. In this case, the team has won 8 games and lost 4 games.

Ratio of wins to losses = wins / losses
Ratio of wins to losses = 8 / 4
Ratio of wins to losses = 2

So, the basketball team's ratio of wins to losses is 2:1.

Moving on to part (b).

(b) To find the basketball team's ratio of wins to games played, we divide the number of wins by the total number of games played. In this case, the team has won 8 games out of 12 games played.

Ratio of wins to games played = wins / games played
Ratio of wins to games played = 8 / 12
Ratio of wins to games played = 2 / 3 or approximately 0.67

So, the basketball team's ratio of wins to games played is 2:3 or approximately 0.67.

Finally, let's move on to part (c).

(c) To estimate how many of the remaining 3 games the basketball team can expect to win, we can assume they will continue to win at the same rate as they have so far.

When considering this assumption, we can expect the team to win 2 out of every 3 games played.

Remaining games = 3
Expected wins from remaining games = (2/3) * Remaining games
Expected wins from remaining games = (2/3) * 3
Expected wins from remaining games = 2

Therefore, if the basketball team continues to win at this rate, we can expect them to win 2 out of the remaining 3 games.
