At this rate how many minivans would pass luann if 60 vehicles passed her there are 15 minivans now and 45 vehicles total
15/45 = x/60
Cross multiply and solve for x.
20 Minivans
20 minivans
15/45=20/60
15 minivans
15
20 minivans
20 minivans
To calculate the number of minivans that would pass Luann at this rate, we need to find the ratio of minivans to total vehicles.
Given that there are currently 15 minivans and 45 total vehicles, we can set up a ratio:
Minivans : Total vehicles
15 : 45
To find the ratio for the number of minivans that would pass Luann, we can use the ratio of the number of total vehicles that passed Luann (60) to the total number of vehicles (45).
Number of minivans passing Luann : 60
So, the ratio becomes:
15 : 45 = Number of minivans passing Luann : 60
To solve for the number of minivans passing Luann, we can use cross-multiplication:
(15 x 60) / 45 = Number of minivans passing Luann
Multiplying 15 by 60 gives us 900, then dividing that by 45 gives us:
900 / 45 = 20
Therefore, at this rate, 20 minivans would pass Luann if 60 vehicles passed her.
