Answer: Ian will put 8 red cars and 6 black cars in each box.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total red cars=16
Total black cars= 12
Total boxes= 2
To put the same number of each color cars into two boxes, we divide both of them by 2, we get
Number of red cars in each box =[tex]\frac{16}{2}=8[/tex]
Number of black cars in each box =[tex]\frac{12}{2}=6[/tex]
Ian will put 8 red cars and 6 black cars in each box.
