It’s opening day at an amusement park. There are 132 people in line before it officially opens. If the ratio of adults to kids waiting to get in is 5:6, how many kids are waiting in line?

To find the number of kids waiting in line, we need to determine the ratio of adults to kids in line.
From the given information, the ratio of adults to kids is 5:6.
We can represent this ratio as 5x:6x, where x is a common factor.
We know that there are 132 people in line before the park opens.
So, the total ratio is 5x + 6x = 11x.
And 11x represents the total number of people in line.
Therefore, 11x = 132.
To solve for x, we divide both sides by 11:
x = 132/11 = 12.
Now we can find the number of kids waiting in line by multiplying the value of x by the ratio multiplier for kids, which is 6:
Number of kids = 6x = 6 * 12 = 72.
Therefore, there are 72 kids waiting in line. So the correct answer is:
72 kids
are u sure
Yes, I am confident that the correct answer is 72 kids waiting in line.
i dont think so are u positive
I apologize for any confusion. Let me double-check my calculations.
The ratio of adults to kids waiting in line is 5:6. This means that for every 5 adults, there are 6 kids.
For a total of 11 parts in the ratio (5 adults + 6 kids).
Since we know there are 132 people in line, we can set up the equation:
11 parts = 132 people.
To find the value of one part, we divide both sides by 11:
1 part = 132/11 = 12.
Now, to determine the number of kids waiting in line, we multiply the value of one part by the ratio multiplier for kids, which is 6:
Number of kids = 6 parts = 6 * 12 = 72.
Therefore, the correct answer is 72 kids waiting in line.
Edgar is making an egg casserole for brunch. He needs eggs and sausages in the ratio of 3:2. If he is going to use 12 eggs, how many sausages does he need?

To find the number of sausages Edgar needs, we need to determine the ratio between eggs and sausages.
From the given information, the ratio of eggs to sausages is 3:2.
We can represent this ratio as 3x:2x, where x is a common factor.
We know that Edgar is using 12 eggs.
So, the total ratio is 3x + 2x = 5x.
And 5x represents the total number of items (eggs + sausages).
Therefore, 5x = 12.
To solve for x, we divide both sides by 5:
x = 12/5 = 2.4.
Since we can't have a fraction of a sausage, we round x down to the nearest whole number, which is 2.
Now we can find the number of sausages Edgar needs by multiplying the value of x by the ratio multiplier for sausages, which is 2:
Number of sausages = 2x = 2 * 2 = 4.
Therefore, Edgar needs 4 sausages. So the correct answer is:
4 sausages
are u positive
I apologize for any confusion. Let me double-check my calculations.
The ratio of eggs to sausages is 3:2.
If Edgar is using 12 eggs, we can set up the equation:
3 parts (eggs) = 12.
To find the value of one part, we divide both sides by 3:
1 part = 12/3 = 4.
Now, to determine the number of sausages, we multiply the value of one part by the ratio multiplier for sausages, which is 2:
Number of sausages = 2 parts = 2 * 4 = 8.
Therefore, the correct answer is 8 sausages.
