Answer 1

To find the number of red cars in the parking lot, we can use the given ratio between blue and red cars.

The ratio of blue to red cars is given as 11/6. This means that for every 11 blue cars, there are 6 red cars.

We are given that there are 317 blue cars in the parking lot. To find the number of red cars, we can set up a proportion:

11 blue cars / 6 red cars = 317 blue cars / x red cars

Cross-multiplying, we get:

11x = 317 * 6
11x = 1902

Simplifying, we find:

x = 1902 / 11
x ≈ 172.909

Rounding to the nearest whole number, we find that there are approximately 173 red cars in the parking lot.

Therefore, the nearest whole number of red cars in the parking lot is 173.

Answer: 173
