Question

i.need you to fill in the boxes with numbers. The ratio of cars to trucks of the Main Street Auto Leasing is 9:4

Answer 1

Let be "a" the number of cars that Airport Auto Leasing has and "m" the number of cars that Main Street Auto Leasing has.

Based on the information given in the exercise, you can set up the following proportion:

`(9)/(4)=(m)/(24)`

Solvig for "m", you get:

`\begin{gathered} (24)((9)/(4))=m \\ \\ (216)/(4)=m \\ \\ m=54 \end{gathered}`

You can also set up the following proportion:

`(5)/(3)=(a)/(24)`

Solving for "a", you get:

`\begin{gathered} (24)((5)/(3))=a \\ \\ (120)/(3)=a \\ \\ a=40 \end{gathered}`

Notice that:

`m>a`

The answers are:

Main Street Auto Leasing has 54 cars.

Airport Auto Leasing has 40 cars.

Main Street Auto Leasing has more cars.
