Question

During the morning commute 60 cars and 12 trucks passed through the intersection. What is the ratio of cars to trucks?​

Answer 1

Answer: 60:12, 60/12, or 60 to 12.

Explanation:

To find the ratio, we must find 2 values. The values in this case is 60 and 12. 60 being cars and 12 being trucks.

So to write the ratio, we must put the cars first, then the trucks second.

So 60 first, and 12 second.

And remember, there are 3 ways to write ratios.

So we can write it like 60:12, 60/12, or 60 to 12.

The answers are 60:12, 60/12, or 60 to 12.
