25%*483=0.25*483=120.75
About 121 people at the fair were under the age of 6.

Answer:

The answer is: 362 people are over 6 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

25% is equal to 0.25, multiplying it by the total number of people who are at the fair that are 483, will give us people who are 6 years old or less, which is equal to: 483 x 0.25 = 120.75; how rounded it would be: 121 people with 6 years or less, as they ask us how many are over 6 years old, there is a difference between all who are, less than 6 years or less, and this would be equal to : 483 - 121 = 362 people are over 6 years old.

The answer is: 362 people are over 6 years old.
