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

Step-by-step 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 $\dfrac{A}{B}$.

The ratio of cars to convertibles = $\dfrac{\text{Number of cars}}{\text{Number of convertibles}}$

$=\dfrac{2450}{1960}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{4}\ \ \ \text{[Simplest form]}$

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