Answer to Problem 6.1MPS

The ratios in the simplest form is -

Team	Games	Win	Loss	W/L Ratio
Bulldogs	$36$	$30$	$6$	$5/1$
Sharks	$36$	$26$	$10$	$13/5$
Cougars	$35$	$23$	$12$	$23/12$
Bears	$33$	$22$	$11$	$2/1$
Hawks	$34$	$20$	$14$	$10/7$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Given-

Table -

Team	Games	Win	Loss	W/L Ratio
Bulldogs	$36$	$30$	$6$
Sharks	$36$	$26$	$10$
Cougars	$35$	$23$	$12$
Bears	$33$	$22$	$11$
Hawks	$34$	$20$	$14$

Calculation:

Given table -

Team	Games	Win	Loss	W/L Ratio
Bulldogs	$36$	$30$	$6$
Sharks	$36$	$26$	$10$
Cougars	$35$	$23$	$12$
Bears	$33$	$22$	$11$
Hawks	$34$	$20$	$14$

From the above table, we have:

Win for Team Bulldogs $=$ $30$

Loss for Team Bulldogs $=$ $6$

Thus, W/L Ratio for Team Bulldogs $=$ $\frac{30}{6}$

Therefore, W/L Ratio for Team Bulldogs $=$ $\frac{5}{1}$

Similarly, calculating the ratios for the other teams -

Win for Team Sharks $=$ $26$

Loss for Team Sharks $=$ $10$

Thus, W/L Ratio for Team Sharks $=$ $\frac{26}{10}$

Therefore, W/L Ratio for Team Sharks $=$ $\frac{13}{5}$

Win for Team Cougars $=$ $23$

Loss for Team Cougars $=$ $12$

Thus, W/L Ratio for Team Cougars $=$ $\frac{23}{12}$

Win for Team Bears $=$ $22$

Loss for Team Bears $=$ $11$

Thus, W/L Ratio for Team Bears $=$ $\frac{22}{11}$

Therefore, W/L Ratio for Team Bears $=$ $\frac{2}{1}$

Win for Team Hawks $=$ $20$

Loss for Team Hawks $=$ $14$

Thus, W/L Ratio for Team Hawks $=$ $\frac{20}{14}$

Therefore, W/L Ratio for Team Hawks $=$ $\frac{10}{7}$

In the tabular format, we have:

Team	Games	Win	Loss	W/L Ratio
Bulldogs	$36$	$30$	$6$	$5/1$
Sharks	$36$	$26$	$10$	$13/5$
Cougars	$35$	$23$	$12$	$23/12$
Bears	$33$	$22$	$11$	$2/1$
Hawks	$34$	$20$	$14$	$10/7$

Conclusion:

The ratios in the simplest form is -

Team	Games	Win	Loss	W/L Ratio
Bulldogs	$36$	$30$	$6$	$5/1$
Sharks	$36$	$26$	$10$	$13/5$
Cougars	$35$	$23$	$12$	$23/12$
Bears	$33$	$22$	$11$	$2/1$
Hawks	$34$	$20$	$14$	$10/7$
