Question

The ration of trucks to cars in the parking lot is 2:5. If there are 40 cars in the parking lot, how many trucks are there?

Answer 1

16 trucks

Explanation:

given that 5 parts of the ratio is 40 cars then divide to find one part of the ratio

`(40)/(5)` = 8 ← 1 part of the ratio

2 parts = 2 × 8 = 16 ← number of trucks
