Sagot :

The correct statement is  for every 8 vehicles sold, 1 truck was sold.​

Ratio expresses the relationship between two variables. It expresses the number of times one value is contained within another variable.

In this question, the ratio of trucks to vans is 10 : 80. This means that for every 10 trucks that is sold, 80 cars are sold. The given values can be expressed in its simplest form. To do this divide the numbers by 10. This gives the ratio 1 : 8. This means that for every  8 cars sold 1 truck are sold.
