The local mechanic worked on a total of 18 cars and trucks this week. If he worked on 13 cars, predict the ratio of cars to trucks that were worked on for the week.(1 point) Responses 13:18 ratio of 13 to 18 13:5 ratio of 13 to 5 5:18 ratio of 5 to 18 5:13
The ratio of cars to trucks that were worked on for the week is 13:5.
To determine the ratio of cars to trucks worked on for the week, we need to find the number of trucks the mechanic worked on.
Since the mechanic worked on a total of 18 vehicles and 13 of them were cars, we can find the number of trucks by subtracting the number of cars from the total:
Total vehicles - Cars = Trucks
18 - 13 = 5
So, the mechanic worked on 5 trucks.
The ratio of cars to trucks worked on for the week is 13:5.
To predict the ratio of cars to trucks that were worked on for the week, we can use the information given.
We know that the mechanic worked on a total of 18 cars and trucks. Of that total, 13 were cars.
To find the number of trucks, we can subtract the number of cars from the total.
18 (total) - 13 (cars) = 5 (trucks)
Therefore, the mechanic worked on 5 trucks.
Now we can express the ratio of cars to trucks in two ways:
1) As a ratio of 13 to 5 (13:5)
2) As a ratio of 5 to 18 (5:18)
So, the answer is "ratio of 13 to 5".
