Solution

The ratio of wins to losses for the Northwestern Huskies can be calculated as follows:

Step 1: Identify the number of wins and losses. The Huskies had 25 wins and 45 losses.

Step 2: Write the ratio as a fraction. This would be 25 (wins) over 45 (losses), or 25/45.

Step 3: Simplify the fraction. Both 25 and 45 can be divided by 5. When you do this, you get 5/9.

So, the ratio of wins to losses for the Northwestern Huskies is 5:9.
