In the parking lot there are 150 convertibles and 600 minivans, for a total of 750 cars all together. What is the ratio of cars to minivans? (Reduce your ratio to lowest terms, for example reduce 15:6 to 5:2)

Respuesta :

Answer:

1 : 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the ratio like this...

150 : 600           (150 cars to 600 minivans)

Now reduce....

Both numbers end with a zero, so divide by 10..

15 : 60  

Both numbers are multiples of 15, so divide by 15....

1 : 4

The ratio of cars to minivans is 1 : 4
