Step-by-step explanation:
(Trust me)
If the container is divided into 12ths you should make that your common denominator.
So 1/4 now equals 3/12
Since we want this 3/12 to be empty we must subtract it from 12/12 leaving us with 9/12.
When we subtract 2/12 from 9/12 to get the amount that was already filled we get 7/12 which is the amount that needs to be filled.
To check we add our parts 2/12 and 7/12 to get 9/12 which is 3/4 of the container filled leaving 3/12 or 1/4 of the container empty.
Hope this helps ☺

Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratios always remain proportionate. In this case, the simplified ratio has 1 red car. The question tells us that there are 6 cars. 6 is 6 times bigger than 1; thus showing that the ratio has increased by a factor of 6. If one side of the ratio increases by a factor of 6, then the other side must also increase by a factor of 6. Since 5*6=30, there must be 30 employees that own a black car.
