Translating "as many times as" to an equation

Question

I have this problem:

Carla has 3 times as many cars, c, as she has trucks, t, how many cars does she have?

Is it correct to assume I can translate it to this:

$$c = 3t$$

Also, by that same logic I translated this:

Carlas has 1/4 times as many cars as she has trucks, how many cars does she have?

$$c = (1/4)t$$

Answer 1

This isn't really a question, but your analysis is correct
