The New England patriots scored 9 points in the first half. In the second half they scored 3 less than 2 times the points in the first half. What is the ratio of of the points and scored in the second half to the total number of points scored

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the first half with F and the second with S

We have that:

--- From the first statement

--- From the next statement

Required

Determine the ratio of S to the total point

First, we need to determine the value of S

Substitute 9 for F in

Next, we determine the total points

The ratio of S to total is: (Represent total with T)

Divide both ration by 3

Hence, the ratio is 5 to 8
