Answer: 75 delivery vans

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratios are the same.

The small company has a ratio of 6 pickups : 5 delivery vans.

Assume the larger company's delivery vans are x.

Using direct proportion:

6             :               5

90           :               x

Cross multiply:

6x = 450

x = 450 / 6

x = 75 delivery vans
