Answer 2

`16,048\ adults`

Explanation:

The complete question is

On Saturday,1/8 of the people who visited were senior citizens,1/8 were infants,1/4 were children,and 1/2 were adults.How many of each group visited the zoo on Saturday? It's has to equal to 32,096 people

we know that

1/8 of people were senior citizen

1/8 were infants

1/4 were children

1/2 were adults

To find out how many of each group visited the zoo on Saturday, multiply the total of people by the fraction of each group

so

`(1)/(8)(32,096)= 4,012\ senior\ citizen`

`(1)/(8)(32,096)= 4,012\ infants`

`(1)/(4)(32,096)= 8,024\ children`

`(1)/(2)(32,096)= 16,048\ adults`

Verify

The sum of the total of each group must be equal to 32,096 people

so

`4,012+4,012+8,024+16,048=32,096\ people` ----> is correct
