In a parking lot, for every 8 cars there are 7 trucks. What is the ratio of cars to trucks?
8 to 7
Thanks Ms. Sue.
To find the ratio of cars to trucks, we need to compare the number of cars to the number of trucks. In this scenario, for every 8 cars, there are 7 trucks.
To calculate the ratio, we divide the number of cars by the number of trucks. In this case, the ratio would be:
8 cars / 7 trucks
Simplifying this ratio is not possible because there is no common factor between 8 and 7 that can be canceled out. So the ratio of cars to trucks remains as 8:7.
