The question narrows the groups down from 3 groups with men, women and children to 2 groups with adults and children. Combine the ratios of the men and the women to children to create this new ratio: (3+5):2 = 8:2. You can then simplify it to 4:1.

Let x be the number of children.

4:1 = (x+360) : x

Cross-multiply the two ratios to get the expression below, simplify and solve for x:

x + 360 = 4x
360 = 4x - x
360 = 3x
x = \frac{360}{3}
x = 120

Since there are 120 children, simply add the number of adults (360 more than this value as mentioned before) and you have your final answer:

total = 120 + (360 + 120)
total = 600

Hope this helped :)

Answer:

x= 10°

Step-by-step explanation:

BWN = BRN (W=R)

56+ (5x-16) +90 =180 {triangle BNW} [angles in a triangle add up to 180] ( properties of a kite)

5x = 180 - (56 + 90 - 16)

5x = 180 - 130

5x = 50

x =50/5

x = 10°
