Most of the cars the Green Pine Auto Dealership sells are minivans and sedans. In January, they sold 10 minivans and 20 sedans. In February, the dealership ran some promotions, and they sold 15 minivans and 25 sedans. During which month did the dealership sell a greater ratio of minivans to sedans?

Answer 1

To determine the month in which the Green Pine Auto Dealership sold a greater ratio of minivans to sedans, we can calculate the ratio of minivans to sedans for both January and February.

For January:

• Minivans sold: 10
• Sedans sold: 20

The ratio of minivans to sedans in January is: \[ \text{Ratio (January)} = \frac{\text{Minivans}}{\text{Sedans}} = \frac{10}{20} = \frac{1}{2} \]

For February:

• Minivans sold: 15
• Sedans sold: 25

The ratio of minivans to sedans in February is: \[ \text{Ratio (February)} = \frac{\text{Minivans}}{\text{Sedans}} = \frac{15}{25} = \frac{3}{5} \]

Now we will compare the two ratios:

• January: \( \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \)
• February: \( \frac{3}{5} = 0.6 \)

Since \( 0.6 > 0.5 \), the dealership sold a greater ratio of minivans to sedans in February.
