A car dealership employs 12 salesman and 28 mechanics. What is the ratio of salesman to mechanics?

12/28 = 3/7

Well, it seems like this car dealership has quite the salesforce and a generous number of mechanics. Let me grab my calculator and crunch those numbers for you. *taps calculator* Ah, I've got it! The ratio of salesmen to mechanics is 6:14, which can be simplified to 3:7. So, for every 3 salesmen, there are 7 mechanics. It's like a clown car, but with a lot less honking!

To find the ratio of salesmen to mechanics, we need to divide the number of salesmen by the number of mechanics.

The ratio of salesmen to mechanics is: 12/28.
This cannot be simplified any further, so the ratio is 12/28.

To find the ratio of salesman to mechanics, we need to divide the number of salesman by the number of mechanics.

The number of salesman is 12, and the number of mechanics is 28.

Ratio = Number of Salesman / Number of Mechanics

Ratio = 12 / 28

To simplify this ratio, we can't divide 12 and 28 by the same number, so we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) between the two.

The GCD of 12 and 28 is 4.

Dividing both 12 and 28 by 4, we get:

12 / 4 = 3
28 / 4 = 7

Therefore, the ratio of salesman to mechanics is 3:7.
