The answer is x equals 24
you set up a proportion new over old
so for red cars 40 over 5
since we don’t know the new for blue cars we’ll use x
so x over 3
we then make them equal to each other
40 x
—- = —-
5 3
cross multiply, then we get
120=5x
isolate the x by dividing 5 from both sides to get 24

Step-by-step explanation:
we conclude that if the scale factor from S to M is 3/2, then the scale factor from M to S is 2/4.
<h3>
</h3><h3>What is the scale factor from M to S?</h3>
Suppose we have a figure S. If we apply a stretch of scale factor K to our figure S, we can say that all the dimensions of figure S are multiplied by K.
So, if S represents the length of a bar, then after the stretch we will get a bar of length M, such that:
M = S*K
If that scale factor is 3/2, then we have the case of the problem:
M = (3/2)*S
We can isolate S in the above relation:
(2/3)*M = S
Now we have an equation (similar to the first one) that says that the scale factor from M to S is 2/3.
Then we conclude that if the scale factor from S to M is 3/2, then the scale factor from M to S is 2/4.
