Question

The City Sights tour company had the same ratio of tourists to guides on both days this weekend. On Saturday, there were 120 tourists and 18 guides. On Sunday, there were 40 tourists.

How many guides were there on Sunday?

Answer 1

There were 6 guides on Sunday.

Explanation:

Same ratio

On Saturday, 120 tourists and 18 guides.

On Sunday, 40 tourists and x guides.

Due to the same ratio:

`(120)/(40) = (18)/(x)`

`3 = (18)/(x)`

`3x = 18`

`x = (18)/(3)`

`x = 6`

There were 6 guides on Sunday.
