What you're seeing here is 12 being multiplied by its reciprocal. 12 * 1/12 = 1. This is an example of a multiplicative inverse; a multiplicative inverse is when you multiply a number by its reciprocal (1 over the number).

Answer:
Children 188
Adults. 115
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the no. of children be x and adults be y
x + y = 303
x = 303 - y. .... .....(1)
1.75x + 4.80y = 881. ...........(2)
Substituting,
1.75(303-y) +4.80y = 881
530.25 -1.75y + 4.80y = 881
530.25 + 3.05y = 881
3.05y = 881 - 530.25
y = 350.75 / 3.05 = 115 = adults
Children = 303-115 = 188
