Answer:

60 delivery vans

Step-by-step explanation:

Smaller company:

Pickup truck : delivery van = 3 : 4

If the larger company has 45 pickup trucks

Let x = number of delivery vans

Larger company:

Pickup truck : delivery van = 45 : x

Equate both ratios

3 : 4 = 45 : x

3/4 = 45/x

Cross product

3 * x = 4 * 45

3x = 180

x = 180/3

x = 60

x = number of delivery vans = 60
