Answer:

Blue cars, B = 63 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the blue cars be B.

Let the red cars be R.

Given the following data;

Ratio of B:R = 9:7 = 9 + 7 = 16

Red cars, R = 49

To find the number of blue cars;

First of all, we would determine the total number of cars using the expression;

R = 7/16 * x = 49

7x = 49 * 16

7x = 784

x = 112 cars

Now, we can find the number of blue cars;

B = 9/16 * 112

B = 1008/16

Blue cars, B = 63 cars
