- Question -
When Carla looked out at the school parking lot she noticed that for every 2 minivans, there were 5 other type of vehicles. If there are 161 vehicles in the parking lot, how many of them are not mini vans?
- Answer -
115 Vehicles that aren't minivans
- Explanation -
2 + 5 = 7 Lots
161 vehicles divided by 7 lots equals 23 lots in all
In 23 lots there are 5 vehicles that are NOT minivans
23 * 5 = 115 non minivan vehicles
