The Jets play 16 football games this season. So far they have 3 wins and 4 losses. If they can win all the rest, how many wins and losses will they have for the season?

12 wins and 4 losses

Step-by-step explanation:

3 wins and 4 losses means they have played so far 7 games.

They play a total of 16 games in a season.

16 - 7 = 9

They still have to play 9 more games.

Add 9 wins to the 3 wins.

9 + 3 = 12

That means they'd finish the season with 12 wins and 4 losses.
