The ratio of games won to games lost for the 2013 football season for the Falcons is given as 7:5. To find the ratio of games won to the total number of games played, we need to consider the games lost as well.
The ratio of games won to games lost is 7:5. This means that for every 7 games the Falcons won, they lost 5 games.
To find the total number of games played, we need to add the number of games won and the number of games lost. So, let's consider the ratio as 7x:5x, where x is a common factor.
The total number of games played is equal to the games won plus the games lost, which is 7x + 5x = 12x.
Therefore, the ratio of games won to the total number of games played is 7x:12x.
