Question

At an automobile dealership, 2 out of every 12 cars sold are red. Which is the best prediction of the number of red cars sold when the automobile dealer sells 150 cars?

Answer 1

25

Explanation:

2 out of 12 means also 1 out of 6.

so, a ratio of 1:6 or a factor of 1/6.

150 × 1/6 = 150 / 6 = 25

so, we expect that out of the 150 sold cars 25 have been red.
