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 60 kids 12 kids 12 kids 72 kids 72 kids 66 kids 66 kids
To find the number of kids waiting in line, we need to divide the total number of people by the sum of the parts in the adult-to-kid ratio.
The sum of the parts in the ratio is 5 + 6 = 11.
To find the number of kids waiting, we multiply the ratio of kids to the sum of the parts by the total number of people in line:
(kids / 11) = 132
To solve for kids, we isolate the variable by multiplying both sides of the equation by 11:
kids = 132 * (6/11) = 72
Therefore, there are 72 kids waiting in line.
To find the number of kids waiting in line, we need to divide the total number of people in line by the sum of the parts of the ratio (5 + 6).
The ratio of adults to kids waiting in line is 5:6, which means for every 5 adults, there are 6 kids.
Let's use the variable x to represent the number of people in each part of the ratio.
We can set up the following equation to solve for x:
5x + 6x = 132
Combining like terms:
11x = 132
Dividing both sides by 11:
x = 12
Now that we have the value of x, we can find the number of kids by multiplying this value by the number of parts of the ratio representing kids:
6 * 12 = 72
Therefore, there are 72 kids waiting in line.
To find out how many kids are waiting in line, we need to determine the number of parts in the ratio that represent kids, and then find the value of each part.
The ratio of adults to kids waiting in line is given as 5:6. This means that for every 5 parts representing adults, there are 6 parts representing kids.
Since there are a total of 11 parts (5+6) in this ratio, we can determine the value of each part by dividing the total number of people in line (132) by the total number of parts (11):
132 ÷ 11 = 12
Therefore, each part represents 12 people. Since we're interested in the number of kids, we can multiply the number of parts representing kids (6) by the value of each part (12):
6 × 12 = 72
So, there are 72 kids waiting in line.
