The ratio of adults to children at a park is 2:5.If there are 10 adults at the park, how many children are there?
2/5 = 10/x
x = 25
To find out how many children are at the park, we can use the given ratio of adults to children, which is 2:5.
First, write down the ratio as a fraction: 2/5.
Since there are 10 adults at the park, we can set up a proportion using the ratio:
2/5 = 10/x
Here, x represents the number of children at the park.
Cross-multiplying the proportion, we get:
2x = 5 * 10
2x = 50
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 2:
x = 50/2
x = 25
Therefore, there are 25 children at the park.
