1 answer

The ratio of adults to kids waiting in line is 5:6.

This means that for every 5 adults, there are 6 kids in line.

To find the number of kids waiting in line, we can set up a proportion.

5 adults/6 kids = 132 people/x

Cross-multiplying, we get 5x = 6 * 132

Simplifying, 5x = 792

Dividing both sides by 5, we get x = 792/5 = 158.4

Since we can't have a fraction of a person, we round down to the nearest whole number.

Therefore, there are 158 kids waiting in line.
