Answer:
24 blue cars
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
- r = number of red cars
- b = number of blue cars
The ratio of red cars to blue cars in a parking lot was 5:3, that is,
r/b = 5/3
If there were 40 red cars (r = 40),
40/b = 5/3
We use the Cross Products Property of Proportions.
40 × 3 = b × 5
120 = b × 5
b = 120/5
b = 24
There were 24 blue cars.
