Question

What is the adult to child ratio of 8:5 if 390 attend how many are children

Answer 1

1. 8+5=13

2. 13 x 3 x 10 = 13 x 30 = 390

Using the information above transform the ratio 8:5.

8 x 30 : 5 x 30

If you do this, you'll end up with the ratio:

240 : 150

This means that 240 adults attended whilst 150 children attended.
