Chloe and Max played Mario Kart together. The ratio of Chloe’s wins to Max’s wins is 8:3. Chloe won 24 times. How many times did Max win?
Let's be accurate as possible and think first.

We are trying to figure out how many times Max won at Mario Kart, so we'll call that number Y.

We know the ratio of Chloe’s wins to Max’s wins is 8 / 3, so 8 / 3 = 24 / Y.

Next, we will multiply to find the cross - products.

8 x Y = 3 x 24 or 8Y = 72.

We want to get figure out Y, so we need to get it by itself by dividing by 8, like this: 8Y / 8 = 72 / 8.

Y = 9, so Max won 9 times.

The answer: 9
