In their last game, the New England Patriots scored 9 points in the first half. In the second half, they scored three less than two times the points in the first half. What is the ratio of the points scored in the second half to the total number of points scored? Give your ratio using a colon.

In the first half, they scored 9 points.

in the second half, they scored:

-3 + 2*9 = 18 - 3 = 15 points.

The total number of points scored is 9 + 15 = 24 points.

Now we want to know:

"What is the ratio of the points scored in the second half to the total number of points scored?"

The ratio between two numbers a and b is written as:

a:b

In this case, the ratio will be:

15:24

But we should simplify this ratio, we can divide both sides by the same number and the ratio will remain unchanged.

As both numbers are multiples of 3, we can divide both sides by 3.

15/3 = 5.

24/3 = 8

Then:

15:24 = 5:8

The ratio is 5:8

aloha~! my name is zalgo and i am here to you out on this gracious day. in order to compare the ratios easily, it is best that we simplify the question first. so, the cougars would have 6 wins for 5 losses, bobcats make 2 wins for 1 loss. bulldogs and tigers have a ratio where you can't simplify it. so, the team with the lowest rate would be the bobcats.

i hope that this ! : d

distance covered by pamela in 9 l of fuel = 99km

let us apply unitary method here.

distance covered by pamela in 1 l of fuel =99/9 =11 km

now let us find distance covered by pamela if she has 12 l of fuel.

distance covered in 12 l = distance covered in 1 l of fuel * 12

we know that distance covered by here in 1 l is 11 km.

so distance covered in 12 l of fuel = 11*12 = 132 km.
