Answer 6

We want to figure out which ratio is higher:

15
5
or

18
8
.


We can compare the ratios more easily if we express them as percentages.

First
write
the
ratio

15
5
as
a
decimal.
Then
convert
the
decimal
to
a
percentage.



15
5
= 3
= 300%


Do the same thing for

18
8
.


18
8
= 2.25
= 225%


Now compare the percentages.

300% 225%


225% is smaller than 300%.

Alice's team had a lower ratio of wins to losses. idk what that means it mumbo jumbo to me
