Final answer:

The team needs to win 2 more games to achieve a win:loss ratio of 2:1, giving them a total of 8 wins to 4 losses.

Step-by-step explanation:

To achieve a win:loss ratio of 2:1, the number of wins must be twice the number of losses. Currently, the team has won 6 games and lost 4 games. If the team does not lose any more games, we can set up a ratio to find out the number of additional wins needed:

Let x be the number of additional wins needed. Then x + 6 (current wins) should be twice the current losses (4).

Setting up the equation: x + 6 = 2 × 4

x + 6 = 8

x = 8 - 6

x = 2

Therefore, the team must win 2 more games to have a win:loss ratio of 2:1.
