To find the combinations of children and adults that total 11 people, we can start by filling in the number of adults corresponding to the given number of children:

  1. 10 Children:

    • Number of adults = 11 - 10 = 1
    • Combination: 10 children, 1 adult
  2. 7 Children:

    • Number of adults = 11 - 7 = 4
    • Combination: 7 children, 4 adults
  3. 5 Children:

    • Number of adults = 11 - 5 = 6
    • Combination: 5 children, 6 adults
  4. 0 Children:

    • Number of adults = 11 - 0 = 11
    • Combination: 0 children, 11 adults

Here’s a summary of the combinations:

| Number of Children | Number of Adults | |-------------------|-----------------| | 10 | 1 | | 7 | 4 | | 5 | 6 | | 0 | 11 |
