Question

Cam you please help me

Answer 1

Part a) 8 adults -------> 48 children

Part b) 11 adults -------> 66 children

Explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of adults

y ----> the number of children

we know that

The ratio of the number of adults to the number of children is equal to

`(x)/(y)=(1)/(6)` ----> equation A

Complete the table

Part 1) For x=8 (adults)

Find the value of y (children)

substitute the value of x in the equation A

`(8)/(y)=(1)/(6)`

solve for y

`y=6(8)=48\ children`

Part 2) For y=66 (children)

Find the value of x (adults)

substitute the value of y in the equation A

`(x)/(66)=(1)/(6)`

solve for x

`x=(66)/(6)=11\ adults`
