A small company has a fleet of 7 pickup trucks and 5 delivery vans. A larger company has the same ratio of pickup trucks to delivery vans. If the larger company has 84 pickup trucks, how many delivery vans does it have?
60 vans because [tex] \frac{7}{84} = \frac{5}{x} [/tex] and if you cross multiply you get 7x=420, then you divide 7 from each side to get x=60 and x is the number of vans the larger company has.
