Question

Chung has 6 trucks and 5 cars in his toy box. Brian has 4 trucks and 5 cars in his toy box.

Answer 1

Given:

Chung has 6 trucks and 5 cars in his toy box.

Brian has 4 trucks and 5 cars in his toy box.

To find:

The correct comparison of their ratios of trucks to cars.

Solution:

The ratio of trucks to cars is defined as:

$\text{Ratio}=\dfrac{\text{Number of trucks}}{\text{Number of cars}}$

Chung has 6 trucks and 5 cars in his toy box. So, the ratio of trucks to cars is:

$\text{Ratio}=\dfrac{6}{5}$

Brian has 4 trucks and 5 cars in his toy box.

$\text{Ratio}=\dfrac{4}{5}$

We know that,

$6>4$

$\dfrac{6}{5}>\dfrac{4}{5}$

Therefore, the correct option is D.
