There are 4 trucks for every 5 cars in a parking lot. How many trucks a
could be in the parking lot?
A
64 trucks and 80 cars
B
72 trucks and 73 cars
84 trucks and 100 cars
96 trucks and 110 cars

A

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to do this, fast and slow

Fast: Division

divide 80 by five and you get 16, since there are 4 for every 5 cars multiply 16 by 4 and you get 64 proving A correct

Slow: Addition

5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5=80

4+4+4+4+4+4+4+4+4+4+4+4+4+4+4+4=64

If i am wrong please leave a comment

if i am right a thanks would be appreciated

i hope this helps you

hi there!

first we need to find out how much they are adding to each number to make the next number.

ex: 4 + 4 = 8, 8 + 8 = 16, and so on.

so continuing with 32,

32 + 32 = 64

64 + 64 = 128

128 + 128 = 256

256 + 256 = 512

4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512

the 8th term of the sequence will be 512

hope this ! ~
