Wendy noticed that out of 345 cars that passed her house, 56 were SUVs. About how many SUVs could she expect to pass by if 2,100 cars were to pass by her house?
300
Can u help me I don't get it
56/345 = x/2100
Cross multiply and solve for x.
I need help
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
To find out how many SUVs Wendy can expect if 2,100 cars pass by her house, we can set up a proportion using the information given in the question.
We know that out of 345 cars, 56 were SUVs. So we can set up the ratio:
56 SUVs / 345 cars = x SUVs / 2,100 cars
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
56 * 2,100 = 345 * x
117,600 = 345x
Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 345:
117,600 / 345 = x
Approximately, x = 340.87
Therefore, Wendy can expect around 341 SUVs to pass by if 2,100 cars were to pass by her house.
