In a small town, the ratio of bicycles to cars is 5:3. If the number of bicycles in the town is 120, how many cars are there?
To find the number of cars, use the ratio provided. Let b represent the number of bicycles, and c represent the number of cars. The relationship between bicycles and cars can be expressed as:
5b = 3c
Substituting the value of b, you can solve for c.
