A car factory made 56 cars. 27 of the cars had a sunroof. What is the ratio of the number of cars without a sunroof to the total number of cars?

Question

Write your answer as two numbers separated by a colon (for example, 2:3).

Answer 1

To find the ratio of the number of cars without a sunroof to the total number of cars, we first determine the number of cars without a sunroof.

The total number of cars is 56, and the number of cars with a sunroof is 27. Therefore, the number of cars without a sunroof is:

\[ 56 - 27 = 29 \]

Now, we have the following:

• Number of cars without a sunroof = 29
• Total number of cars = 56

We can write the ratio of the number of cars without a sunroof to the total number of cars as:

\[ 29 : 56 \]

Thus, the final answer is:

\[ 29:56 \]
