To find the number of kids waiting in line, we need to find the ratio of adults to kids, which is 5:6. Since the total number of people in line is 132, we can set up the following equation:
5x + 6x = 132
Simplifying, we get:
11x = 132
Dividing both sides by 11, we find:
x = 12
Therefore, the number of kids waiting in line is:
6x = 6 * 12 = 72
So, there are 72 kids waiting in line.
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a set of five adjacent rectangles labeled as Adults. Another set of six adjacent rectangles is labeled as Kids and is placed below Adults. All rectangles have the same dimensions. A bracket on the right side encompasses both sets and points to the number 132.
It’s opening day at an amusement park. There are 132 people in line before it officially opens. If the ratio of adults to kids waiting to get in is 5:6 , how many kids are waiting in line?
