Answer:

The ratio of wins of the total number of matches played is 2/3

Explanation:

A tennis team won 8 matches and lost 4 which means that the tennis team have played 12 matches in total.

So, the ratio of wins to the total numbers of matches played is:

Ratio of wins = won matches/total matches

Ratio of wins = 8/12 = 2/3

Answer:

8:12, which reduces to 2:3

Explanation:

The tennis team played 12 total matches if they won 8 and lost 4. (8+4=12). They're asking for ratio of wins to total matches. They won 8 and played twelve in total so: 8:12. Ratios are like fractions and must be reduced. So it's 2:3.
