Answer 1

To determine the wins-to-losses ratio for each team, we can calculate it using the formula:

\[ \text{Wins-to-Losses Ratio} = \frac{\text{Wins}}{\text{Losses}} \]

Let's calculate the ratio for each team:

1. Cougars: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{12}{10} = 1.2 \]

2. Bobcats: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{20}{10} = 2.0 \]

3. Bulldogs: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{8}{5} = 1.6 \]

4. Tigers: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{3}{5} = 0.6 \]

Now we can summarize the ratios:

• Cougars: 1.2
• Bobcats: 2.0
• Bulldogs: 1.6
• Tigers: 0.6

The team with the lowest wins-to-losses ratio is the Tigers, with a ratio of 0.6.
