The ratio of cars to trucks is 8 cars to 36 trucks. If there are 9 trucks, how many cars are there?
2 answers:
Set up the proportion with the numbers on top equalling the cars and the numbers on the bottom representing the trucks.
c equals the number of unknown cars.
To solve the proportion, cross multiply (multiply 8 by 9 and 36 by c) and solve for c.
72 = 36c
Divide 36 from both sides to get the answer.
c = 2
If there are 9 trucks, there are 2 cars.
You can check this by dividing 2 by 9, and dividing 8 by 36. Since they both equal the same number, this answer is correct.
Hope this helps =)

The type of transformation that has happened is a translation. Translation is when the image's size nor shape changes after transformation. every point in the image moves the same distance in the same direction.
the equation for the translation mentioned is;
T4, -5(x,y)
this means that every point in the image has moved down by 5 units and moved to the right by 4 units.
Point A to Point E
Point A - (-4,-1)
after translation (x+4, y-5) = (-4+4,-1-5)
= (0,-6) these are the coordinates of point E.
the other three points too have moved the same distance and direction as point A did.
