A company makes 5 blue cars for every 3 white cars it makes. If the company makes 15 white cars in one day, how many blue cars will it make?

Answer:

25

The set-up would go something like this:

3 * x = 15

x is our variable that isn't defined, bur by doing some simple math we can determine that "x" is 5 becuase of simple logic and reasoning.

This means that you would also have to multiple the 5 by the 5 as well since we know that for every 3 white cars there is 6l5 blue cars.

this would bring the total to 25z hope this helped :)

Answer:

25

Explanation:

25, because 3 times what is 15, 5. So multiply 5 by 5 and get 25.
