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?
First, we need to find the total ratio. Since the ratio of adults to kids is 5:6, the total ratio is 5+6=<<5+6=11>>11.
Next, we need to find the fraction that represents the kids' portion of the ratio. The fraction is given by 6/11.
To find the number of kids waiting in line, we multiply the fraction representing the kids' portion by the total number of people in line: 6/11 * 132 = <<6/11*132=72>>72 kids. Answer: \boxed{72}.
To find the number of kids waiting in line, we need to find the ratio of kids to the total number of people in line.
Given that the ratio of adults to kids waiting is 5:6, we can determine the total number of parts in the ratio as 5 + 6 = 11.
Next, we can calculate the number of parts that represent kids by multiplying the total number of parts by the ratio of kids in the given ratio:
Number of parts representing kids = (6/11) * 132
To find the number of kids waiting in line, we can multiply the number of parts representing kids by the total number of people in line:
Number of kids waiting in line = (6/11) * 132
Now let's calculate it:
Number of kids waiting in line = (6/11) * 132 = 72
Therefore, there are 72 kids waiting in line at the amusement park.
To find the number of kids waiting in line, we first need to determine the total number of parts in the ratio. In this case, the total number of parts is 5 + 6 = 11.
Next, we need to divide the total number of people in line by the total number of parts in the ratio. So, 132 ÷ 11 = 12.
Finally, to find the number of kids, we multiply the number of parts assigned to kids (6) by the value of one part (12). Thus, 6 * 12 = 72.
Therefore, there are 72 kids waiting in line.
