Question

When carla loocked out the schoo parkin lot she noticed that of evry 2 mini vant s there were 5 other tipes of vehicules if there are 161 in the park how many of them or not minivams

Answer 1

115 are not minivans.

Explanation:

So, every for every 2 minivans, there are 5 other types of vehicles.

In other words, out of 7 vehicles, 2 are minivans.

In a fraction, this is 2/7.

To find the number of minivans given 161 total vehicles, we can write a proportion. So:

`\frac{2 \text{ mini}}{7\text{ total}}=\frac{x}{161\text{ total}}`

We need to solve for x. Cross multiply:

`322=7x`

Divide both sides by 7:

`x=46`

So, given 161 total ehicles, 46 of them are minivans.

This means that 161-46 or 115 are not minivans.

So, our answer is 115.

And we're done!

Answer 2

46 mini vans

115 other

Explanation:

mini vans : others : total

2 5 2+5 = 7

We have 161 vehicles

161/ 7 =23

Multiply each by 23

mini vans : others : total

2 *23 5*23 7*23

46 115 161

46 mini vans

115 other
