    Answer: the ratio would ben 1 to 4, or (1/4) as a common fraction, this means that the number of games that the team lost is equal to 1/4 of the games that the team won.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    the ratio is 3 to 2

    this means that if they played 5 games (because 3 + 2 = 5), 3 of those games were losses and 2 where wins.

    Now, if they played the same number of games (5) and won twice as many of the games (2) them would have wined 2*2 = 4 of 5 games.

    then the rate of loses to wins is:

    1 to 4

    this means that they lost 1 game for every 4 wins.

    Answer: The new ratio will be 1/4

    Explanation: The initial ratio of losses to wins is 3 to 2. If we sum the numer of losses and wins 3 + 2 = 5 games, that means they loss 3 out of 5 games, and they win 2 out of 5 games.

    So if they had won twice as many of the games, that is 2*2=4. And since the number of games is the same (5), then they would have won 4 games and loss only 1.

    So the new ratio of losses to wins will be 1 to 4, or expressed in a fraction: 1/4
