Okay so for a number 1 they want you to subtract the total from the child or adult. so for males, they want you to subtract 240 from 144. 240 - 144 equals 96 so there are 96 adults in males. moving on to the female we have to find how many children there are so, we have to subtract 260 from 129 which will equal 131. 131 is how many children are females.

For "B" we have to work out how many child visitors there are than adults. Easy we just have to subtract 275 from 225 which will equal 50!

Now for question C, we have to write the adult total in the lowest term what they mean by that is a fraction said to be written using the lowest terms if its numerator and denominator are relatively prime, that is, they have no common factors other than 1. So the lowest term for the adult is 9/4

Now for question D, they want us to make a ratio for the number of males and for the number of females. A ratio is an ordered pair of numbers a and b, written a / b where b does not equal 0. The ratio for the male is 96:144 (for every 96 adults there are 144 children) The ratio for females is 129:131 (for every 129 female there are 131 children)!

For E it is a probaIlity that there is a 144/500 chance there's a male child! Not much I can explain for E because that's a hard one but that's the answer for E

a. 240 - 144 = 96 Adult males

260 - 129 = 131 Female children

b. 275-225 = 50 more children

c. 225/500 simplifies to 9/20 visitors are adults

d. 240:260

e. 144/500 chance that it is a male child
