Question

There are 16 cars and 64 passengers scheduled to go to a concert. Write a ratio in simplest form like compares the number of passengers to the number of cars.

Answer 1

The ratio in simplest form that compares the number of passengers to the number of cars, given 16 cars and 64 passengers, is 4:1, indicating 4 passengers per car.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to write a ratio that compares the number of passengers to the number of cars if there are 16 cars and 64 passengers scheduled to go to a concert. To find this ratio, we divide the number of passengers by the number of cars:

Ratio = Number of Passengers / Number of Cars = 64 / 16 = 4 / 1

The ratio in simplest form that compares the number of passengers to the number of cars is 4:1. This means that for every car, there are 4 passengers scheduled to go to the concert.

Answer 2

64:16 (Simplified is 4:1) For every 4 passengers, there is 1 car.

Whatever group is first, you put the amount of items in that group first in the ratio. (Since it's comparing passengers to cars, you put the amount of passengers first.) Then, simply divide both sides by their GCF (Greatest Common Factor) which is 16. So, the ratio you're left with is 4:1 (4 passengers for every 1 car)
