Retro Rides is a club for owners of vintage cars and motorcycles. Every year the club gets together for a ride. This year, 44 vehicles participated in the ride. The total number of tires of all the vehicles was 128. Assuming each car has 4 tires and each motorcycle has 2 tires, how many each of cars and motorcycles participated in the ride?

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl

total of apples - take away four

6-4 = 2

answer is 2 apples
