Question

Thethe ratio of scooter to that of a car in a parking it is 2:5 if the number of cars is 40 find the total number of vehicle in the parking

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 56 vehicles in Number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Ratio of scooters to cars = 2:5

Number of cars = 40

To find :

The number of total vehicles

Solution :

Let the number of -

• Scooters be 2y
• Cars be 5y

As cars are 40 in number,

$\implies$ 5y = 40

$\implies$ y = 40/5

$\implies$ y = 8

$\rule{300}{1.5}$

★ Number of scooters -

$\implies$ 2(y)

$\implies$ 2(8)

$\implies$ 16

Cars = 40

Scooters = 16

$\rule{300}{1.5}$

★ Total vehicles -

$\implies$ 40 + 16

$\implies$ 56

$\therefore$ There are 56 vehicles in Number.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\sf{56}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of scooters be "m"

Now, according to Question,

Number of cars = 40

Ratio of number of scooter to car = 2:5

Thus, we have the following conditon:

$\implies \frac{m}{40} = \frac{2}{5} \\ \\ \implies m = \frac{2}{5} \times 40 \\ \\\implies m = 2 \times 8 \\ \\ \implies m = 16$

Therefore , number of scooters = 16

Hence, total number of vehicles = 40+16 = 56
