Number of Children = 165

Number of Adults = 182

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of children and y be the number of adults

Then according to given statements

x+y=347\ \ \ \ \ Eqn\ 1\\and\\1.75x+2.50y=743.75\ \ \ \ Eqn 2\\From 1:\\x=347-y\\Putting\ this\ in\ equation\ 2\\1.75(347-y)+2.50y=743.75\\607.25-1.75y+2.50y=743.75\\0.75y+607.25=743.75\\0.75y=743.75-607.2\\0.75y=136.5\\

y=\frac{136.5}{0.75}\\y=182\\Putting\ y=182\ in\ eqn\ 1\\x+182=347\\x=347-182\\x=165

Number of Children = 165

Number of Adults = 182

Effectus [21]
Your answer is 0.8 or 80%
Explanation:

Consider the ratio written like a fraction:

<span><span>Count of sandwichescount of people</span>→<span>46</span></span>

But we need the count of sandwiches for 1 person. So we need to change the 6 people into 1 person. To change 6 into 1 divide it by 6

<span>6÷6=1</span>

For ratios, when multiplying or dividing, what we do to the bottomwe do to the top.

So to change <span>46</span> into what we want we apply

<span><span><span>4÷6</span><span>6÷6</span></span>=<span><span>23</span>1</span>← <span>Count of sandwichescount of people</span></span>

So each person ends up with <span>23</span> of a sandwich

<span>Now see where the shortcut comes from <span>46</span>=<span>23</span><span> of a sandwich</span></span>
