The right answer is Option E: 10 cars
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Length of railroad car = 6 inches
The length of railroad track = 5 feet
We will convert this length into inches.
1 feet = 12 inches
5 feet = 12*5 = 60 inches
Let,
x be the number of cars.
Number of cars * Length of each car = Length of track
[tex]6*x=60\\6x=60[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 6
[tex]\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{60}{6}\\x=10[/tex]
10 cars can fit on railroad track.
