If a car factory checks 320 cars and 12 of them have defects, how many out of 560 will have defects? Use proportions

Total number number of cars which do not have defects = 539

and 21 are defected out of 560 i.e. 560 - 539 = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cars checked by Car factory = 320

Number of defected cars = 12

The number of cars which do not have defects = 320 - 12 = 308

Total Number of cars = 560

So the equation becomes

⇒  

⇒  

⇒  

Therefore, total number number of cars which do not have defects = 539

and 21 are defected out of 560 i.e. 560 - 539 = 21

goog may be able to you find that answer

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
