The given data provides the number of games won and lost:

- Games won: 24
- Games lost: 28

To express the ratio of games won to games lost, we must write this as:

\[
\text{Ratio of games won to games lost} = \frac{24}{28}
\]

Now, simplify this ratio by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 4:

\[
\frac{24}{28} = \frac{24 \div 4}{28 \div 4} = \frac{6}{7}
\]

So, the ratio of games won to games lost is **6:7**.
