19. The ratio of cars to trucks in a parking lot is 8 to 5 trucks. There are 25 trucks in the parking lot.
How many total cars and trucks are in the parking lot?

Respuesta :

Answer:

65

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of cars to trucks 8:5 so if there are 25 trucks we multiply the no of trucks by 5(5*5=25) therefore the other side should also be multiplied (8*5)to give a total of 40 Inorder to calculate total add the values of cars and trucks evaluated (25+40=65)

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is 8 : 5

So there are 8/5 = 1.6 more cars than trucks.

So the number of cars in the lot = 25 * 1.6 = 40

So the total of vehicles in the parking lot = 25 + 40 = 65.
