A car company builds two versions of one of its models-a sedan and a station wagon. The ratio of sedans to station wagons is 11:2. A freighter begins unloading the cars at a dock. Tom counts 18 station wagons and then overhears a dock worker call out, "Okay, that's all of the wagons ... bring out the sedans!" How many sedans were on the ship? Write the number only.

Number of sedans on the ship = 99

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Ratio of sedans to station wagons = 11 : 2

Number of station wagons count by Tom = 18

Number of sedans = x

Ratio of sedans to station wagons = x : 18

The relationship is directly proportional;

11 : 2 :: x : 18

Product of mean = Product of extreme

2x = 11*18

2x = 198

Dividing both sides by 2

Hence,

Number of sedans on the ship = 99

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.
