There are red cars and blue cars in the parking lot. The ratio of blue to red is 11: 6. There are 317 blue cars. How many red cars are in the parking lot?

Question

Round your answer to the nearest whole number. (1 point)

Answer 1

Let's call the number of blue cars "11x" and the number of red cars "6x" since the ratio of blue to red cars is 11:6.
If there are 317 blue cars, then 11x = 317.
Dividing by 11, we find that x = 317 / 11 = 28.81818181...
Since we need to round our answer to the nearest whole number, we can round x to the nearest whole number, which is 29.
Therefore, there are 6 * 29 = <<6*29=174>>174 red cars in the parking lot. Answer: \boxed{174}.

Answer 2

The actual answer is 173

Answer 3

I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's recalculate the number of red cars based on the correct ratio and number of blue cars given.

Given that the ratio of blue to red cars is 11:6, we can set up the equation:

(11/6) = 317/x

To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 6 to get rid of the denominator:

11 = (317 * 6)/x

Now we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 11:

x = (317 * 6)/11
x = 174.3636...

Rounding to the nearest whole number, we find that there are 174 red cars in the parking lot. Answer: \boxed{174}.
