There are five times as many cars as trucks on the road. Which fraction represents the number of vehicles that are trucks?

A.1/1


B.1/5


C.2/5


D.1/6


Sagot :

Well, the ratio of cars to trucks is 5:1, so for every 1 truck, there are 5 cars, the sum would be 6. So that's the denominator, and then the numerator would be 1, since there's only 1 truck out of every 6 vehicles.

Answer:  D. 1/6
