Answer 1

Answer: 48 model cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that the ratio of the number of model cars that Jim owns to the number of model cars Terrence owns is 4:3.

2. Let's call the number of model cars that Jim owns is $x$, therefore, you can solve the exercise as following:

$\frac{4}{3}=\frac{x}{36}\\x=\frac{36*4}{3}\\x=\frac{144}{3}\\x=48$

3. Therefore, Jims owns 48 model cars.
