Question

Lisa counted 35 blue and white cars. There were 6 times as many blue cars as white cars. How many blue cars were there? How many white cars were there?

Answer 1

If there is 6 times as many blue cars as white cars, share it in the ratio 6:1.
6 + 1 = 7
35 ÷ 7 = 5
6 x 5 = 30
1 x 5 = 5
Answer: 30 blue cars and 5 white cars
