Question 20

Penny is the manager of a nursery for pre-school children.
She knows that the ratio of the number of adults to the number of children
must be 1:8
Penny has 56 children at the nursery.
(a) Work out the number of adults Penny needs for 56 children.​

Answer 1

Answer: 7

Explanation:

We know that the ratio adults: children must be 1:8.

So if there are 58 children the ration is x: 56

56/8 (to find the number of adults) = 7

7:56 = 1:8
