    Carly

    Step-by-step explanation:

    to figure out what the ratio is you need to put it in fraction form

    zoe's team is 8/14

    carly's team is 7/17

    you need to find a common denominator to figure out who has the higher number of wins

    in this case, the common denominator would be 238 or 14 times 17

    you multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 17/17 for zoe's fractions

    zoe's team has 136/238

    carly's team would be multiplied by 14/14

    this would give you 98/238

    now that both fractions have the same denominator you can determine that carly's team lost more games
