Solution

Step 1: Identify the number of wins and the total number of games. The team won 6 games and played a total of 14 games (6 wins + 8 losses).

Step 2: The ratio of wins to total games is therefore 6 to 14.

Step 3: Simplify the ratio by finding the greatest common divisor of 6 and 14, which is 2.

Step 4: Divide both numbers by 2. The simplified ratio is 3 to 7.

So, the ratio of games won to the total number of games played by the hockey team is 3:7.
