8 red + 4 white = 12 cars we want to get

34-12 = 22 cars we don't want to get





To write the odds in favor, we list the number of ways to get what we want (the 12 red or white cars), a colon, then the number of ways to get what we don't want (the 22 cars of a different color than red or white)





We have the ratio 12:22





12:22 reduces to 6:11 after dividing both parts by 2





Answer is A. 6:11
