Question

In the parking lot at Central, there are 21 blue cars and 75 cars total. What is the ratio of blue cars to cars that are not blue in simplest form?

Answer 1

Answer: The ratio of blue cars to cars that are not blue in simplest form = 7:18

Explanation:

Given: There are 21 blue cars and 75 cars total.

Then, number of cars that are not blue = 75 -21 = 54

Now, the ratio of blue cars to cars that are not blue =
`(21)/(54)=(7)/(18)` [Divide numerator and denominator by 3.]

Hence, the ratio of blue cars to cars that are not blue in simplest form = 7:18
