16 red cars and 12 black cars. He put half of each colour in each box. Therefore he would put 8 red and 6 black in each box. 8 red + 6 black is 14. Therefore he would have 14 cars in each box. 

14. 

Answer 2

Answer: Ian will put 8 red cars and 6 black cars in each box.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total red cars=16

Total black cars= 12

Total boxes= 2

To put the same number of each color cars into two boxes, we divide both of them by 2, we get

Number of red cars in each box =$\frac{16}{2}=8$

Number of black cars in each box =$\frac{12}{2}=6$

Ian will put 8 red cars and 6 black cars in each box.
