15 kids for every 100 adults .. How many adults are there!! ... He cant be half an adult ... So idk

i think your missing some information to the problem. how many people are their in total?

im in 5th grade and i no round up so 7

To find the number of adults, we need to determine the ratio between the number of kids and adults.

The given ratio is 15 kids for every 100 adults. This can be written as 15/100.

To figure out how many adults there are, we can set up a proportion:

15 kids / 100 adults = x kids / y adults

Here, x and y represent the unknown number of kids and adults, respectively.

Cross-multiplying the proportion, we get:

15 * y = 100 * x

Now, since we know that "he can't be half an adult," we can assume that the number of adults (y) is a whole number.

Dividing both sides by 15, we have:

y = (100 * x) / 15

To find a whole number solution, we can check different values of x until y becomes a whole number.

Let's start by testing x = 1:

y = (100 * 1) / 15 = 100 / 15 ≈ 6.67

Since y is not a whole number, let's try x = 2:

y = (100 * 2) / 15 ≈ 13.33

Again, y is not a whole number. We must continue testing until we find a whole number solution.

Let's try x = 3:

y = (100 * 3) / 15 = 300 / 15 = 20

Finally, we have found a whole number solution! When there are 3 kids for every 20 adults, there is a total of 20 adults.
