Find the won to lost ratio of a team that won 24 out of its 30 games.

Since we are given the number of wins, which is 24 out of 30 games.  It is known that 6 of these games are lost.

To put this into ratio, we can simply write,

24:6

Noticed that 24 is divisible by 6, meaning both sides can be reduced by 6. So the final answer will be,

4:1

This means that every 4 games, there is a 1 gam that is lost.
