What kind of ratio did you describe?

ratio of games = 7x : 5x

total games = 12x

ration of games won : total games
= 7x : 12x
= 7:12

The ratio of games the Falcons won to the games they lost in the 2013 football season is 7:5. To determine the ratio of games won to the total number of games played, we need to calculate the total number of games played.

The total number of games played by the Falcons is the sum of the games won and the games lost. In this case, the sum of 7 and 5 is 12. Therefore, the Falcons played a total of 12 games in the 2013 football season.

Now, to find the ratio of games won to the total number of games played, we divide the number of games won by the total number of games played. In this case, the Falcons won 7 out of 12 games. So, the ratio of games won to the total number of games played is 7:12.

The type of ratio described here is a part-to-whole ratio, where the part (games won) is compared to the whole (total number of games played).
