A skating rink sold tickets for Friday Night's show. Of the 66 tickets sold 2/3 were adult tickets and 1/3 were children's tickets. What is the total number of adult tickets sold? ​

The number of aduir tickets sold was 44. If 2/3 of the ticket is 66 and 1/3 of the tickets is 1/3, you’ll know that by diving 66 with 3 you find the answer for the children’s ticket. 66 divide 3 is 22. But how do you find the adults ticket? Well if the rest are all adults which it is then you find the left overs. 66-22=44 and the answer will be 44. 1/3 of 66 is 22 and 2/3 of 66 is 44.
