Question

The ratio of cars to pickup trucks in a parking lot is 4 to 1. There are

252 cars in the parking lot. How many pickup trucks are in the lot?

HELP

Answer 1

The correct answer is x = 63

How did we figure this out?

`\boxed{(4)/(1)=(252)/(x)4x=252(4x)/(4) =(252)/(4)x=63 }\\\huge\boxed{\underline_ So, (4)/(1)=\frac{252}{\bold{63}} }`

Therefore, the correct answer is x = 63

Answer 2

63

Explanation:

using the ratio

`(4)/(1) = (252)/(x)`

cross multiply

`4x = 252`

divide both sides by (4)

`(4x)/(4) = (252)/(4)`

x = 63

i hope this helps
