Answer:

A total of 72 passenger planes came in yesterday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Blue Sky International Airport handles passenger to cargo traffic in a ratio of 8 to 5.

Number of cargo planes landed yesterday = 45

Number of passenger planes landed =
(8)/(5) x Number of cargo planes landed.

Number of passenger planes landed yesterday =
(8)/(5) x 45

= 8 x 9

= 72 passenger planes.

So a total of 72 passenger planes came in yesterday.
