Answer 1

Answer:

645

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say cars = 15x

then taxis = 4x

4x = 172

1 = 172/4x

15x = (172/4x)*15x = 43*15 =  645

Answer 2

Concept:

A ratio refers to the quantity of one good with respect to the another.

Given:

We are given that:

The ratio of cars to taxis is 15 : 4

And the number of taxis = 172

Find:

We need to find the number of cars in the town.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of cars to taxis = 15 : 4

Number of taxis = 172

Let the number of cars be x

ATQ, we get that:

15 / 4 = x / 172

15 × 172 = 4 x

4 x = 2580

x = 645

Therefore, the number of cars in the town are 645.
