Answer 1

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

3:2=27: number of vans

number of vans=27*2/3

Answer 2

Answer:

number on vans = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio = 3:2

let the number of cars = 3x

let the number of vans = 2x ---- equation (2)

we know that number of cars = 27

=> 3x=27

x = 9

substituting this value of x in equation (2)

we get,

number of vans = 2(9) = 18

ANS: 18 vans.
