There are 9 cars in the parking lot. 2 cars are parked on the left and the other cars are parked on the right.
a. What fraction of the cars are parked on the right?
b. If 4 cars are white, what fraction of the cars are white?
a. 9 - 2 =?
b. 4/9
a. Well, I'm not sure if the cars have political inclinations or directions, but if we go by the information given, there are 7 cars parked on the right out of a total of 9. So, the fraction of cars parked on the right would be 7/9 or approximately 0.777. Now that's a lot of right-turn enthusiasts!
b. Ah, the color of the cars! If we have 4 white cars out of the 9 total, then the fraction of white cars would be 4/9. So, you could say the parking lot is experiencing a mild snowstorm. Drive carefully!
a. To find the fraction of cars parked on the right, we need to compare the number of cars parked on the right to the total number of cars.
There are 9 cars in total, and 2 of them are parked on the left, which means 9 - 2 = 7 cars are parked on the right.
Therefore, the fraction of cars parked on the right is 7/9.
b. To find the fraction of cars that are white, we need to compare the number of white cars to the total number of cars.
Given that 4 cars are white, the fraction of white cars is 4/9.
To find the answer to these questions, we need to first understand the total number of cars in the parking lot and then determine the number of cars that meet the given criteria. Let's break it down step by step:
a. To determine the fraction of cars parked on the right, we need to know how many cars are parked on the right side of the parking lot. Given that 2 cars are parked on the left side, we can subtract this number from the total number of cars to find the number of cars parked on the right side.
Total cars in the parking lot = 9
Cars parked on the left = 2
Number of cars parked on the right = Total cars - Cars parked on the left
Number of cars parked on the right = 9 - 2 = 7
Now we have the number of cars parked on the right (7 out of 9). To express this as a fraction, we divide the number of cars parked on the right by the total number of cars.
Fraction of cars parked on the right = Number of cars parked on the right / Total cars
Fraction of cars parked on the right = 7 / 9
b. To determine the fraction of white cars, we need to know the number of white cars out of the total number of cars. Given that 4 cars are white, we can express this as a fraction by dividing the number of white cars by the total number of cars.
Number of white cars = 4
Total cars = 9
Fraction of white cars = Number of white cars / Total cars
Fraction of white cars = 4 / 9
So, the fraction of cars parked on the right is 7/9, and the fraction of white cars is 4/9.
