    Answer:

    Fraction of fire trucks = \frac{1}{4}

    Total number of toy cars = 16

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Fraction of sports car = \frac{2}{3}

    Fraction of remaining cars =1-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{3-2}{3} =\frac{1}{3}

    So,

    Fraction of pick up cars = \frac{1}{4}(\frac{1}{3})=\frac{1}{12}

    Therefore,

    Fraction of fire trucks = \frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{12}=\frac{4-1}{12}=\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}

    That is Number of fire trucks = \frac{1}{4} ( Total number of toy cars )

    Number of fire trucks = 4

    Total number of toy cars = 4(4)=16
