At the toy store, Caleb and his younger brother, Gabe, each used money they had saved to buy Motor Mystery boxes. The convertibles are their favorite cars to get! Out of the 30 cars in Caleb's Jumbo box, 12 were convertibles. Out of the 10 cars in Gabe's Mini box, 4 were convertibles. Did the boxes have the same ratio of convertibles to total cars?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation: As you can see the Caleb's Jumbo box's ratio is 12/30, and the Gabe's Mini box's ratio is 4/10. If you divide both the numerator and the denominator by 3 for Caleb's Jumbo box's ratio it becomes:

12/30= 4/10.

So we can see that the boxes have the same ratio.

Answer 2

Yes. If you simply 12/30 it would lead to 4/10 and then 2/5 but you get the point. The answer is yes
