You mean $$\frac{4}{9}$$

In this case, if the number of cars is $$x$$, the number of ferraris is $$\frac{4}{9}*x$$

If the number of ferraris is 4 then $$\frac{4}{9}*x=4$$ means that $$x=9$$

So 9 cars in total, so 5 lambos.

Hope it is clear.

We can create the equation:

F/(F + L) = 4/9

9F = 4F + 4L

5F = 4L

Alternate Solution:

Since the fraction of Ferraris for sale is 4/9 of the total, then the fraction of Lamborghinis for sale is 5/9 of the total. If we were to assume that there were 9 cars for sale, we would see that there were 4
Ferraris and 5 Lamborghinis, with a resulting ratio of 4 to 5.

The number of Ferraris for sale is 4/9 of the TOTAL number of cars for sale
In other words, out of every 9 cars sold 4 of them are Ferraris.
In other words, out of every 9 cars sold 5 of them are NOT Ferraris.
In other words, for every 4 Ferrari sold, 5 NON Ferraris are sold
Since the dealership sells only Ferraris and Lamborghinis, we know that 5 Lamborghinis are sold

Cheers,
Brent
