Question

Bob has 12 red cards and 20 green cards. what is the ratio of bobs red cards to his green card

Answer 1

Answer:

3:5

• If Bob has 12 red cards and 20 green cards, all we have to do is write the two numbers seperated by a colon.

$12~to~20 -- > 12:20$

• How did we get 3:5 then, you may be asking? It is just a few simple steps. All you need to do is find the divisor. How do we find the divisor? Find the lowest or highest number that both parameters are divisible by.

$\frac{12 / 4}{20 / 4} = \frac{3}{5} -- > 3:5$
