The sum of the ratios is: 7+5=12
\n" ); document.write( "Dioviding the total number of vehicles we get:
\n" ); document.write( "120/10
\n" ); document.write( "This is the ratio multiplier.
\n" ); document.write( "7*10=70 number of motorcycles.
\n" ); document.write( "5*10= 50 the number of cars.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "50+70=120
\n" ); document.write( "7/5=70/50
\n" ); document.write( "7/5=7/5
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
