Answer:

a) 44 children can safely play in the playground of area 154 m^2.

b) The smallest playground area in which 24 children can play is 84 m^2.

Explanation:

We have the ratio 210m^2 : 60.

a) 154/210 is 11/15. Multiplying this scale factor gives the ratio 154 m^2 : 44.

44 is found by multiplying 11/15 by 60.

44 children can safely play in the playground of area 154 m^2.

b) 24/60 is 2/5. Multiplying this scale factor gives the ratio 84 m^2 : 24

84 is found by multiplying 2/5 by 210.

The smallest playground area in which 24 children can play is 84 m^2.

Hope this helps!
