Question

A football team won $14games,$and lost $7games$and tied in $5games$Write the ratio of the following

Games won to games lost

Answer 1

Step-1: Find $Gameswon:GamesLost$

$Gameswon:GamesLost=$$14:7$

Step-2: Simplify the ratio $14:7$

$14:7$$=$$\frac{14÷7}{14÷7}$( To simplify $14:7$divide it by HCF of $14$and $7$ The HCF of $14$and $7$ is $7$)

$14:7$$=$$\frac{2}{1}$$=$$2:1$

Hence, the ratio $Gameswon:GamesLost=$is $2:1$
