Sam and tyrone each build model cars. altogether, sam and tyrone have built 42 model cars. the ratio of cars sam has built to cars tyrone has built repersented by the tape diagram below.

There is no tape diagram but the ratio is 3:4

Sam has 3 boxes for his tape diagram, Tyrone has 4 boxes for his tape diagram


enter the number of cars represented by each square in the tape diagram

Respuesta :

Sam has 18 cars with 6 cars per box while Tyrone has 24 cars with 6 cars per box.

We are given that ratio of cars Sam has built to cars Tyrone has built is 3:4.

Let us assume that Sam built [tex]3x[/tex] cars and Tyrone built [tex]4x[/tex].

Since we are given that total number of cars they built is 42. Therefore, we can set up:

[tex]3x+4x=42\\ 7x=42\\ x=6[/tex]

Therefore, Sam built [tex]3x=3(6)=18[/tex] cars and Tyrone built [tex]4x=4(6)=24[/tex] cars.
