Answer:

24 cars are green

Explanation:

We know

Amir notices that 3 out of every 50 cars that pass by his window are green.

So, the ratio is 3:47

To get from 50 to 400, we time 8.

If he observes 400 cars, what is the best estimate of how many will be green?

We take

3 x 8 = 24 cars are green

So, there will be 24 cars that are green.
