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? (1 point) Responses 60 kids 12 kids 72 kids 66 kids
The ratio of adults to kids waiting in line is 5:6.
This means that for every 5 adults, there are 6 kids in line.
To find the number of kids waiting in line, we can set up a proportion.
5 adults/6 kids = 132 people/x
Cross-multiplying, we get 5x = 6 * 132
Simplifying, 5x = 792
Dividing both sides by 5, we get x = 792/5 = 158.4
Since we can't have a fraction of a person, we round down to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, there are 158 kids waiting in line.
None of the given response options match the correct answer.
To find the number of kids waiting in line, we first need to determine the total number of parts in the ratio of adults to kids, which is 5 + 6 = 11 parts.
Next, we divide the total number of people waiting in line (132) by the number of parts (11) to find the value of each part: 132 ÷ 11 = 12.
Since the ratio of adults to kids is 5:6, we can calculate the number of kids waiting in line by multiplying the value of each part (12) by the number of parts assigned to kids (6): 12 x 6 = 72.
Therefore, there are 72 kids waiting in line.
To find out how many kids are waiting in line, we first need to determine the total number of parts in the ratio, which is 5 + 6 = 11.
Next, we can calculate the proportion of kids in line by dividing the number of kids by the total number of parts in the ratio:
6 parts / 11 parts = (132 - number of adults) / 132
Cross-multiplying gives us:
6 * 132 = 11 * (132 - number of adults)
792 = 1452 - 11 * number of adults
Rearranging the equation:
11 * number of adults = 1452 - 792
11 * number of adults = 660
Dividing both sides by 11 gives us:
number of adults = 660 / 11 = 60
Since the ratio of adults to kids is 5:6, the number of kids waiting in line will be:
number of kids = 60 * (6/5) = 72
Therefore, there are 72 kids waiting in line at the amusement park.
