Alex has a collection of vehicles models. He built 8 airplanes, 4 trains and 12 cars. Write a ratio to represent the ratio of cars to airplanes

Respuesta :

To find the ratio of cars to airplanes, we compare the number of cars to the number of airplanes:

Number of cars: 12
Number of airplanes: 8

So, the ratio of cars to airplanes is 12:8.

To simplify the ratio, we find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 12 and 8, which is 4. Then, we divide both numbers by 4:

12 ÷ 4 = 3
8 ÷ 4 = 2

Thus, the simplified ratio of cars to airplanes is 3:2.
