In a parking lot of 240
red and blue cars, the ratio of red cars to blue cars is 3 : 5
.

How many red cars are in the parking lot?

Respuesta :

so given there are 240 cars

3:5 ratio or red to blue 

3+5 = 8 

red cars 3/8 *240 = 90

blue cars 5/8 * 240 =150

ratio of red to blue 90:50 

simplify 
90 divided by 30 = 3 
150 divided by 30 = 5 


90:150 = 3:5


if you could please give me best answer
