To find out how many kids are waiting in line, we can use the ratio of adults to kids given as 5:6. This can be interpreted as:
- For every 5 adults, there are 6 kids.
Let's denote the number of adults as \(5x\) and the number of kids as \(6x\), where \(x\) is a common multiplier.
The total number of people in line is given as 132:
\[
5x + 6x = 132
\]
\[
11x = 132
\]
\[
x = \frac{132}{11} = 12
\]
Now we can find the number of kids:
\[
\text{Number of kids} = 6x = 6 \times 12 = 72
\]
Thus, the number of kids waiting in line is **72 kids**.
