5.) Tyler counted 20 cars in the school parking lot. Of these, 6 were red, 4 were green, and 1 was yellow.
a. Draw a diagram to represent the situation.
- This is what it would look like because it says that Tyler counted 20 cars.1st what I did is I put 6 red cars, 4 green cars and 1 yellow car because that's what that's what Tyler saw, I added those 3 numbers i got 11..then I knew there's was something wrong and it was not equal to 20. So i know now that there are 9 cars left so that means the car that was left was a different color.
b. How many cars were not red, green, and yellow?
- by looking at this picture it looks like there are 9 cars that are not yellow, green, and red.
c. What is the ratio of yellow to green to red cars?
-The ratio of yellow to green to red cars is 1 : 4 : 6
d. What is the ratio of red to total cars? Express the ratio as fraction and a percent.
- The ratio of red to total cars is 6 : 20. If you put this ratio as a fractoin it would look like this 6/20 by looking at this fraction it looks like you could put it in lowest terms. You have to divide 6 to 2 to get 3, then you have to do the same thing to the other side so you have to divide 20 by 2 to get 10 (3/10). For you to get the percent of you have to divide the numerator to denominator ( 3/10) then multiply it by 100 which equals 30%.
