The ratio of the number of CARS to SUVs in a parking lot is 5:2. There are 70 total Vehicles in the parking lot. How many SUVs are there
Since the ratio of cars to SUVs is 5:2, we can assume that there are 5x cars and 2x SUVs, where x is a positive integer.
The total number of cars and SUVs is 5x + 2x = 7x.
Since there are 70 vehicles in total, we can set up the equation 7x = 70.
Simplifying the equation, we get x = 10.
Thus, there are 2x = 2 * 10 = <<2*10=20>>20 SUVs in the parking lot. Answer: \boxed{20}.
To find out how many SUVs are in the parking lot, we need to first determine the total number of parts in the ratio, which is 5 + 2 = 7 parts.
Next, we need to determine the value of each part. We can do this by dividing the total number of vehicles by the total number of parts: 70 รท 7 = 10.
Since each part represents 10 vehicles, the number of SUVs in the parking lot would be 2 parts multiplied by 10, which equals 20.
Therefore, there are 20 SUVs in the parking lot.
To determine the number of SUVs in the parking lot, we need to calculate the fraction representing the ratio of cars to SUVs.
The given ratio is 5:2, which can be written as 5/2. We can add these fractions together to find the total number of parts:
5 + 2 = 7.
To find the number of SUVs, we divide the total number of vehicles in the parking lot by the total number of parts and multiply it by the number of parts representing SUVs:
(2/7) * 70 = (2 * 70) / 7 = 140 / 7 = 20.
Therefore, there are 20 SUVs in the parking lot.
