A study was conducted on the production rates for a company that produces electric cars. The table below shows the number of cars made during 8 consecutive one-hour production periods.

$$ \begin{array} {|c|c|} \hline \text{One-hour period} & \text{Number of cars made} \\ \hline \text{A} & 6 \\ \hline \text{B} & 5 \\ \hline \text{C} & 5 \\ \hline \text{D} & 7 \\ \hline \text{E} & 6 \\ \hline \text{F} & 5 \\ \hline \text{G} & 5 \\ \hline \text{H} & 7 \\ \hline \end{array} $$

What is the ratio of the number of one-hour periods with less than 6 cars made to the number of one-hour periods with 6 or more cars made?

$$ \begin{array} {|c|c|} \hline \text{One-hour period} & \text{Number of cars made} \\ \hline \text{A} & \colorbox{yellow}{$6$} \\ \hline \text{B} & \colorbox{aqua}{$5$} \\ \hline \text{C} & \colorbox{aqua}{$5$} \\ \hline \text{D} & \colorbox{yellow}{$7$} \\ \hline \text{E} & \colorbox{yellow}{$6$} \\ \hline \text{F} & \colorbox{aqua}{$5$} \\ \hline \text{G} & \colorbox{aqua}{$5$} \\ \hline \text{H} & \colorbox{yellow}{$7$} \\ \hline \end{array} $$

We need to find this ratio:

$$ \colorbox{aqua}{\text{less than 6}} : \colorbox{yellow}{\text{6 or more}}$$ $$ 4:4 $$ $$ \boxed{1:1}$$
