To determine which season had the greater ratio of games won to total games, we can calculate the winning percentages for both seasons.

Last season:

  • Games won: 10
  • Total games: 20
  • Winning ratio = Games won / Total games = 10 / 20 = 0.5 or 50%

This season:

  • Games won: 15
  • Total games: 25
  • Winning ratio = Games won / Total games = 15 / 25 = 0.6 or 60%

Now we compare the two ratios:

  • Last season: 0.5 (50%)
  • This season: 0.6 (60%)

Since 0.6 > 0.5, Jake's team had a greater ratio of games won to total games this season.

So, the answer is: This season had the greater ratio of games won to total games.
