The new parking lot has spaces for 450 cars. The ratio of spaces for full-sized cars to compact cars is 11 to 4. How many spaces are for full-sized cars? How many spaces are for compact cars?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = no. of spaces for full size cars
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(450-x) = no. of spaces for compact cars
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"The ratio of spaces for full-sized cars to compact cars is 11 to 4.\"
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2F%28%28450-x%29%29\"$ = $\"11%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can cross multiply to solve this:
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
