Answer:

1200 families

Explanation:

If 18 out of 90 families take a vacation each year, to find out the number of families out of 6000 that would brake a vacation each year, we will use the law of equality as shown:

18 = 90families

x = 6000families

Cross multiplying we have!

90x = 18×6000

x = 6000 × 18/90

x = 6000×1/5

x = 1200 families

This means that 1200 out of 6000 families will take vacation each year.
