They were 336 people at a concert.if 2/3 were childre,how many chairs were needed for the adults?
336 divided by 1/3
112 chairs are needed 4 d adults
To find out the number of chairs needed for the adults at the concert, we first need to calculate the number of children present.
Given: Total number of people at the concert = 336
And, 2/3 of the attendees were children.
To find the number of children:
Number of children = 2/3 * Total number of people
= 2/3 * 336
To calculate this, we can multiply 336 by 2 and divide the result by 3.
Number of children = (2 * 336) / 3
Calculating this expression, we get:
Number of children = 224
Now, to find the number of adults, we can subtract the number of children from the total number of people at the concert:
Number of adults = Total number of people - Number of children
= 336 - 224
Calculating this subtraction, we get:
Number of adults = 112
Therefore, there were 112 adults at the concert, and thus we would need 112 chairs for the adults.
