Answer:

Explanation:

9/9 - 2/9=7/9

adults=7/9

children=2/9

difference between children and adults = 95 = 7/9 - 2/9 = 5/9

so 95 = 5/9

if 5/9 = 95

2/9 = 2/9 x 95 รท 5/9 = 38

answer = 38

Answer: 133 children

Explanation:

children = x

adults = y

2/9 (x+y) = y.....

7y - 2x = 0

y+95=x

7y - 2(y + 95) = 0

7y -2y -190 = 0

5y +190

y = 38

38+95 = x

x = 133 children
