Explanation:

Let The scooters be x

Then

4/7 = 24/x

Doing cross multiplication

4x = 24 * 7

x = (24* 7)/4

= 42

Therefore there are 42 scooters

Answer:

42

Explanation:

Since the ratio of bike to scooters is 4:7

So let's solve

4+7=11

Since the total is not given we will have to determine that by ourselves

How

Let's the total be x

4/11×x=24

4x/11=24

Cross multiply

4x=24×11

4x=264

Divide both sides by 4

X=66

So the total is 66

So let's solve for scooters

7/11×66=462/11

42

Therefore the final answer for scooters is 42
