Question 151810
Three-Fifths of the automobiles entering Dalton each morning will fill the city parking lots. There are 3654 such parking spaces. How many cars enter Dalton?
;
Let x = no of cars that enter D
:
{{{3/5}}}x = 3654
Multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of the denominator, results;
;
3x = 5*3654
;
3x = 18270
x = {{{18270/3}}}; divide both sides by 3
x = 6090 cars enter D
;
;
Check: {{{3/5}}}* 6090 = 3654
