Question

It was recently estimated that uninsured vehicles out number insured ones by about 6 to 5 if there are 2002 vehicles in a county how many of them are in insured

Answer 1

There are 1092 uninsured vehicles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Ratio of uninsured vehicles to insured vehicles = 6:5

Let,

x be the original number.

Number of uninsured vehicles = 6x

Number of insured vehicles = 5x

Total vehicles = 2002

$6x+5x=2002\\11x=2002$

Dividing both sides by 11

$\frac{11x}{11}=\frac{2002}{11}\\x=182$

Number of uninsured vehicles = 6x = 6(182) = 1092

Number of insured vehicles = 5x = 5(182) = 910

There are 1092 uninsured vehicles.
