Question

A car transporter can carry 12 cars
How many transporters are need for 67 cars ?

Answer 1

\[\sf \frac{1~transporter}{12~cars} = \frac{x~transporters}{67~cars}\]

Answer 2

1/12 = x/67 --- 1 transporter to 12 cars = x transporters to 67 cars
now we cross multiply
12x = 67 -- now divide both sides by 12
x = 67/12
x = 5 7/12.....um....it can carry 5 cars...not sure about the 7/12...thats not even a whole car

Answer 3

So the answer is 5?
