Question

In the parking lot there are 1960 convertibles and 490 minivans, for a total of 2450 cars all together what is the ratio of cars to convertibles

Answer 1

Answer: 5:4

Explanation:

Given : The number of convertibles = 1960

The number of minivans = 490

Total cars = 2450

The ratio of A to B can also be written as
`(A)/(B)`.

The ratio of cars to convertibles =
`\frac{\text{Number of cars}}{\text{Number of convertibles}}`

`=(2450)/(1960)\\\\=(5)/(4)\ \ \ \text{[Simplest form]}`

Hence, the ratio of cars to convertibles = 5:4
