    This team can lose 6 games and still achieve this goal.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In order to find this, we can create a proportion and solve by cross multiplying. The proportion should compare amount of losses to total games.

    Ratio = Total

    2/5 = x/15

    Now cross multiply

    15*2 = 5x

    30 = 5x

    6 = x

    This means the team can lose 6 games and still keep the necessary ratio.
