To find the ratio of the number of cars with a sunroof to the total number of cars, we first need to determine the total number of cars.
The car factory made:
- Cars with a sunroof: 8
- Cars without a sunroof: 12
Total number of cars = Number of cars with a sunroof + Number of cars without a sunroof
\[
\text{Total number of cars} = 8 + 12 = 20
\]
Now, we can establish the ratio of cars with a sunroof to the total number of cars:
\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of cars with a sunroof}}{\text{Total number of cars}} = \frac{8}{20}
\]
We can simplify this ratio by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4:
\[
\frac{8 \div 4}{20 \div 4} = \frac{2}{5}
\]
Therefore, the ratio of the number of cars with a sunroof to the total number of cars is **2:5**.
