Answer:

180-n_c

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the ratio of children to adults is 2:1.

Let n_c and n_a be the number of children and adults in the school carnival.

So, \frac {n_c}{n_a} = \frac 2 1

\Rightarrow n_c = 2 n_a \cdots(i)

Given that the total number of peoples in the carnival =180

So, n_c + n_a = 180

\Rightarrow n_a = 180-n_c \cdots(ii)

Now, from equations (i) and (ii), we have

n_c = 2(180-n_c) \\\\\Rightarrow n_c = 360 -2 n_c \\\\\Rightarrow n_c +2n_c = 360 \\\\\Rightarrow 3 n_c = 360 \\\\\Rightarrow n_c = 360/3 = 120.

Hence, the number of children in attendance is 120.

How can I solve this?

The 3 inside angles need to equal 180 degrees.

Angle K is given as 48 degrees.

Angle M would be 90 degrees.

Angle J = 180 - 90 - 48 = 42

Angle J = 42 degrees
