5th-6th grade math ^-^

the ratio of trucks to cars in a parking lot is 3 to 5. if there are 24 total vehicles, how many are cars?

15

Step-by-step explanation:

When you find the sum of 3 and 5 you get 8, which represents the total number of vehicles used in the trucks to cars ratio.

This means that the ratio of cars to total vehicles in this ratio is 5 to 8. Because there are 24 vehicles in the parking lot, and 8 × 3 = 24, you can multiply the entire ratio by three to get your

5 to 8 ⇒ 15 to 24

Therefore, the number of cars in the parking lot is 15.

the answers c

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
