To calculate: how long the parking lane will be if 1 fire truck and 5 ambulances placed
Answer to Problem 48STP
1 fire truck and 5 ambulances will acquire 105 feet distance
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
3 fire trucks and 4 ambulances can fit into a parking lane 152 ft long
2 fire trucks and 5 ambulances can fit into a parking lane 136 ft long
The space between each vehicle is 1 ft
Calculation:
Let, x represents the length occupied by the one fire truck and y represents the length occupied by the one ambulance
According to the question:
Here, 6 in both equations represent the 1 ft distance 6 times between the vehicles
On simplifying the equations:
Multiply equation (i) by 2 and equation (ii) by 3
Subtract equation (iii) by (iv)
Put the value of y in equation (i)
1 fire truck and 5 ambulance equation will be:
