Adults . . . . .1 time
Children . . . 3 times
Total . . . . . . 4 times

4 times = 48 total people

Divide each side by 4: 1 time = 12 people

Adults = 1 time = 12 adults
Children = 3 times = 36 children
Total people = 12+36 = 48 people

The number of children in the library was 3 times the number of adults. The total number of people at that library was 48. How many children were at the library?
