Question 8 of 10, Step 1 of 15/10CorrectIn a park, the ratio of adults to children is 12 to 11. If there are 368 people in the park, how many children are there?

Answer 1

Given:

The ratio of adults to children is 12 to 11.

Total people 368

Find-:

A number of children.

Sol:

Let constant is "x"

So

`\begin{gathered} 12x+11x=368 \\ \\ 23x=368 \\ \\ x=(368)/(23) \\ \\ x=16 \end{gathered}`

So number of children is 11x

`\begin{gathered} =11x \\ \\ =11*16 \\ \\ =176 \end{gathered}`

In park total 176 children.
