For every 100 cars that enter the entersection from A, 30 cars head towards B, 40 cars head toward C, and 30 cars head towards D. If 60 cars enter the entersection from A, how many head toward B?
Explain, thanks
For every ten from A three go to B. Think that out.
So, for 60 from a, then sixty is ten six times, so three six times is 18 cars go to B
thank you
what is the guestion?
To find out how many cars head towards B when 60 cars enter the intersection from A, we can use a proportion based on the given information.
Let's create a proportion using the ratios provided:
(30 cars heading towards B) : (100 cars entering from A) = x cars heading towards B : 60 cars entering from A.
Cross-multiplying the proportion, we get:
30 * 60 = 100 * x.
Simplifying the equation, we have:
1800 = 100x.
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 100 to solve for x:
x = 1800 / 100.
Calculating the value, x = 18.
Therefore, when 60 cars enter the intersection from A, 18 cars will head towards B.
