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.

Answer 1

To solve this problem using a tape diagram, we can break up the line into 5 equal parts, representing the 5 equal parts in the ratio 3:2.

Each part represents 155 ÷ 5 = 31 people.

Therefore, there are 31 x 2 = <<31*2=62>>62 adults in line. Answer: \boxed{62}.
