Question

Lovejoy Leopards are having an outstanding season. They are 4-0 and the stands are packed. Friday night 2352 people go to the Leopards football game. For every 2 adults there are children. How many children are there.

Answer 1

To find the number of children at the game, we use the total attendance (2352 people) and the 2:1 ratio of adults to children. By setting up an equation, 3x = 2352, and solving for x, we determine there are 784 children present.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to determine the number of children at a football game, given the total attendance and the ratio of adults to children. Given that there are 2352 people at the game and the ratio of adults to children is 2:1, we can let the number of adults be represented as 2x and the number of children as x.

The equation to represent the situation is:

2x + x = 2352

This simplifies to:

3x = 2352

Dividing both sides by 3:

x = 2352 / 3

x = 784

Therefore, there are 784 children at the football game.
