The ratio of kids to adults waiting to see the movie is 3 : 2.
This means that for every 3 kids, there are 2 adults.
To find the number of adults in line, we need to find the number of groups of 3 kids.
If there are 155 people in line and each group has 3 kids, we can divide 155 by 3 to find the number of groups:
155 / 3 = 51.67
Since there cannot be a fraction of a group, we round down to the nearest whole number:
51 groups
If each group has 2 adults, then the number of adults in line is:
51 groups x 2 adults/group = 102 adults
Therefore, there are 102 adults in line.
This means that for every 3 kids, there are 2 adults.
