Answer: 14 pick ups
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The rate of pick up : 5 sedans for every 2 pick ups.
Let x be the number of pick ups he have counted if he had passed 35 sedans.
If the rate remains constant then according to the question, we have the following equation:-
[tex]\dfrac{x}{35}=\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{35\times2}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=14[/tex]
Hence, the number of pick ups he have counted if he had passed 35 sedans =14
