The fraction [tex]\frac{10}{25}[/tex] represents the number of games they won out of all the games the baseball team played.
To find out what percent of the games the team won, we can change the fraction [tex]\frac{10}{25}[/tex] into a percent. We can first reduce this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor of 10 and 25 using 5.

2 ÷ 5 = 0.4
0.4 × 100 = 40%
Therefore, the baseball team won 40% of the games they played.
