To find the number of kids waiting in line, we need to divide the total number of people by the sum of the parts in the adult-to-kid ratio.
The sum of the parts in the ratio is 5 + 6 = 11.
To find the number of kids waiting, we multiply the ratio of kids to the sum of the parts by the total number of people in line:
(kids / 11) = 132
To solve for kids, we isolate the variable by multiplying both sides of the equation by 11:
kids = 132 * (6/11) = 72
Therefore, there are 72 kids waiting in line.
It’s opening day at an amusement park. There are 132 people in line before it officially opens. If the ratio of adults to kids waiting to get in is 5:6 , how many kids are waiting in line? (1 point) Responses 60 kids 60 kids 12 kids 12 kids 72 kids 72 kids 66 kids 66 kids
