Let's use a tape diagram to represent the situation.
We know that the ratio of kids to adults is 3:2.
So, let's divide the total number of people in line by the ratio: 155 / 5 = 31.
This means that each "group" in the ratio represents 31 people.
Since there are 2 groups in the ratio, there must be 2 * 31 = <<2*31=62>>62 adults in line.
Therefore, there are 62 adults in line.
A new superhero movie has its first showing and there are 155 people in line to see it. If the ratio of kids to adults waiting to see this movie is 3:2 , how many adults are in line? Use a tape diagram to help organize your thinking.(1 point)
