Question

Evacuation team can carry 120 victims of the earthquake using 30 cars. Determine the number of cars required to carry 60 victims.

  1. 12
  2. 10
  3. 9
  4. 15

hintHint:

By doing cross multiplication we obtained the no. of cars required for 60 victims evacuation team.

The correct answer is: 15


    Step 1 of 1:
    In this question, it is given no. of cars required by evacuating team to save 120 victims is 30 and asked us to find no of cars to save 60 victims.
    No of cars for 120 victims = 30
    No of cars for 60 victims = x;
    We can do cross multiplication as
    120 victims    -       30 cars
    60 victims      -         x cars
    x = (60*30)/120 = 15 cars
    x = 15 cars
    Final Answer:
    The right choice is-- d. 15
