Question

There are 4 trucks for every 5 cars in the parking lot. if there are 20 cars in the parking lot, how many trucks are in the lot?

Answer 1

16 trucks

==============

Use the given ratio between trucks and cars. The ratio states that there are 4 trucks for every 5 cars. If there are 20 cars in the parking lot, we can set up a proportion to find the number of trucks:

• 4 trucks / 5 cars = x trucks / 20 cars
  

Cross multiplying, we get:

• 5x = 80
• x = 16

Therefore, there are 16 trucks in the parking lot.
