A new superhero movie has its first showing and there are 155 people in line to see it. If the ratio of kids to adults waiting to see this movie is 3:2 , how many adults are in line? Use a tape diagram to help organize your thinking.(1 point) adults
To solve this problem, we can use a tape diagram to represent the ratio of kids to adults. Since the ratio is 3:2, we can divide the line into 5 equal parts (3 parts for kids and 2 parts for adults).
Let's say each part represents 155 / 5 = 31 people.
So, there are 2 parts for adults, which means there are 2 parts * 31 people per part = 62 adults in line.
Therefore, there are 62 adults in line to see the superhero movie.
To determine the number of adults in line, we need to first find the total number of parts in the ratio. In this case, the ratio is 3:2, so there are a total of 3 + 2 = 5 parts.
Next, we divide the total number of people in line (155) by the total number of parts in the ratio (5) to find the value of each part.
155 ÷ 5 = 31
Each part represents 31 people.
Since we want to find the number of adults, we need to determine how many parts represent the adults. In the ratio, there are 2 parts representing adults.
2 parts x 31 people = 62 adults
Therefore, there are 62 adults in line to see the superhero movie.
To solve this problem, we can start by representing the number of kids and adults in line using a tape diagram.
Let's represent kids with "K" and adults with "A".
The ratio of kids to adults waiting to see the movie is 3:2, which means that for every 3 kids, there are 2 adults.
We can represent this ratio using the tape diagram below:
K K K | A A
Now, we know that there are a total of 155 people in line. To find the number of adults, we need to determine how many groups of 2 adults are in line.
Since each group of 3 kids is accompanied by 2 adults, we can divide the total number of people in line by 3 (to find how many groups of kids there are) and then multiply that number by 2 (to find how many groups of adults there are).
155 / 3 = 51.67 (approximately)
Since we can't have a fraction of a group, we need to round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, there are 51 groups of kids.
Now, to find the number of adults in line, we multiply the number of groups of adults by the number of adults in each group:
51 * 2 = 102
Therefore, there are 102 adults in line to see the superhero movie.
