Answer:

4650 adults

Explanation:

The ratio of people who drink coffee to total people is 31/50, or 0.62

To find the number of adults in the town who drink coffee, multiply the ratio by how many people there are in the town.

Plugging in the values we are given,

0.62 * 7500 = 4650

We can expect 4650 adults to drink coffee in the town.
