Answer:

Therefore, the number of adults at the football game was 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represents the number of adults and C represents the number of children.

Therefore, the ratio of children to adults is given as follows:

23:1 = C:A ....................... (1)

Since C = 140, this is substituted into equation (1) as follows:

23:1 = = 140:A ....................... (2)

Transforming equation (2) and solve for A, we have:

23 / (23 + 1) = 140 / (140 + A)

23 / 24 = 140 / (140 + A)

0.958333333333333 = 140 / (140 + A)

0.958333333333333 (140 + A) = 140

(0.958333333333333 * 140) + 0.958333333333333A = 140

134.166666666667 + 0.958333333333333A = 140

0.958333333333333A = 140 -134.166666666667

0.958333333333333A = 5.833333333333

A = 5.833333333333 / 0.958333333333333

A = 6.08695652173878

Rounding to a whole number, we have:

A = 6

Therefore, the number of adults at the football game was 6.
