This can be done as a proportion. A proportion is 2 equal ratios. If you know three parts of the proportion then you can solve for the 4th.

Proportion

31 wrecks/1085 cars = 7 wrecks / x cars

Solution

31 wrecks/1085 cars = 7 wrecks / x cars        Cross Multiply

31 * x = 1085 * 7                                                Simplify the right

31 * x = 7595                                                     Divide both sides by 31

31 * x/31 = 7595/31

x = 245

Answer 7 wrecks means 245 cars have passed the intersection
