Answer (3)

-- He played 20 games. -- He won 2 of them. -- He must have lost (20 - 2) = 18 games.
The ratio of (games lost) to (games won) is 18 to 2, or 9 to 1 .
He ought to consider taking up a different game, other than chees.

He played 20 and won 2, this means that he lost 18. The way to write a ratio is this (firsts answer:second answer). So your answer is 18:2

The player lost 18 games and won 2 games. The ratio of games lost to games won is 9 to 1. This means for every 9 games lost, the player won 1 game.
