Question

1-116 1.2.6

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 30 adults; B. 24 not dolls

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{No. of adults} & = & \text{No. of visitors} \times \text{Fraction who are adults}\\& = & \text{100 visitors} \times \dfrac{\text{3 adults}}{\text{10 visitors}} \\& = & \textbf{30 adults}\\\end{array}$

B.

If five-eighths of the prizes were dolls, then three-eighths of the prizes were not dolls.

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{No. not dolls} & = & \text{No. of prizes} \times \text{Fraction not dolls}\\& = & \text{64 prizes} \times \dfrac{\text{3 not dolls}}{\text{8 prizes}} \\& = & \textbf{24 not dolls}\\\end{array}$
