Answer:

475 children

Explanation:

A restaurant has many vistors over the weekend.4/9 of the visitors are adults. If there were 380 adults, how many visitors were children? Answer

Step 1

We find the total number of visitors the restaurant had over the weekend. This is calculated as:

Let the total number of visitors = x

4/9 × Total number of visitors = 380 Adults

4/9 × x = 380

4x/9 = 380

Cross Multiply

4x = 9 × 380

x = 9 × 380/4

x = 855 visitors.

Step 2

The number of visitors that were children is calculated as:

Total number of visitors - Number of Adults

= 855 visitors - 380 Adults

= 475 children
