    Answer: 10 railroad cars

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1 feet = 12 inches

    Each railroad car is 6 inches in length which is half of 1 feet. If we add another railroad car, then both of them altogether will be 1 feet long.

    So, if 1 feet = 2 railroad cars

    then, 5 feet = 2 x 5

                        = 10 railroad cars

    Step-by-step explanation:
    Given,
    Length of railroad car = 6 inches
    The length of railroad track = 5 feet
    We will convert this length into inches.
    1 feet = 12 inches
    5 feet = 12*5 = 60 inches
    Let,
    x be the number of cars.
    Number of cars * Length of each car = Length of track

    Dividing both sides by 6

    10 cars can fit on railroad track.
