If there are 6 tricycle wheels and the ratio of tricycles to the tricycle wheels is 1:3, how many tricycles are there?

Tricycles : Tricycle Wheels

1 : 3

x : 6

x/ 6 = 1/3 (Cross multiply to get:)

x = 6/3

x =2

Therefore there are 2 tricycles

Thank you for answering :)

To find the number of tricycles, we need to divide the total number of tricycle wheels by the number of wheels per tricycle.

Given that the ratio of tricycles to tricycle wheels is 1:3, we can let the number of tricycles be represented by 'x'.

Since each tricycle has 3 wheels, the total number of tricycle wheels is 3x.

According to the problem, 3x is equal to 6.

Writing this as an equation:
3x = 6

To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 3:
x = 6/3 = 2

Therefore, there are 2 tricycles.

To find the number of tricycles, we need to first determine the total number of tricycle wheels.

Since the ratio of tricycles to tricycle wheels is 1:3, we can divide the total number of tricycle wheels by 3 to find the number of tricycles.

So, if there are 6 tricycle wheels, we divide this number by 3:

6 tricycle wheels รท 3 = 2 tricycles

Therefore, there are 2 tricycles.
