Since the ratio of adults to kids waiting to get in is 5:6 and there are 132 people in line before the amusement park officially opens, we can set up the following proportion:
Adults : Kids = 5 : 6
Let's assume that the number of adults waiting in line is 5x and the number of kids waiting in line is 6x. Therefore, the total number of people in line can be expressed as:
5x + 6x = 132
11x = 132
Dividing both sides of the equation by 11, we get:
x = 12
Now, we can find the number of kids waiting in line:
Number of kids = 6x = 6 * 12 = 72
Therefore, there are 72 kids waiting in line.
Use the image to answer the question. An illustration shows a set of five adjacent rectangles labeled as Adults. Another set of six adjacent rectangles is labeled as Kids and is placed below Adults. All rectangles have the same dimensions. A bracket on the right side encompasses both sets and points to the number 132.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?

Since the ratio of eggs to sausages needed for the casserole is 3:2 and Edgar is using 12 eggs, we can set up the following proportion:
Eggs : Sausages = 3 : 2
Let's assume that the number of sausages Edgar needs is 2x. Therefore, the number of eggs is 3x. Since we know that Edgar is using 12 eggs, we can substitute this value into the equation:
3x = 12
Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, we get:
x = 4
Now, we can find the number of sausages Edgar needs:
Number of sausages = 2x = 2 * 4 = 8
Therefore, Edgar needs 8 sausages for the egg casserole.
Eggs : Sausages = 3 : 2
Let's assume that the number of sausages Edgar needs is 2x. Therefore, the number of eggs is 3x. Since we know that Edgar is using 12 eggs, we can substitute this value into the equation:
3x = 12
Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, we get:
x = 4
Now, we can find the number of sausages Edgar needs:
Number of sausages = 2x = 2 * 4 = 8
Therefore, Edgar needs 8 sausages for the egg casserole.

Since the ratio of pants to shorts available for sale is 4:3 and there is a total of 70 pants and shorts available, we can set up the following proportion:
Pants : Shorts = 4 : 3
Let's assume that the number of shorts available is 3x. Therefore, the number of pants available is 4x. Since we know that there is a total of 70 pants and shorts available, we can substitute this value into the equation:
4x + 3x = 70
7x = 70
Dividing both sides of the equation by 7, we get:
x = 10
Now, we can find the number of shorts:
Number of shorts = 3x = 3 * 10 = 30
Therefore, there are 30 shorts available for sale.
Pants : Shorts = 4 : 3
Let's assume that the number of shorts available is 3x. Therefore, the number of pants available is 4x. Since we know that there is a total of 70 pants and shorts available, we can substitute this value into the equation:
4x + 3x = 70
7x = 70
Dividing both sides of the equation by 7, we get:
x = 10
Now, we can find the number of shorts:
Number of shorts = 3x = 3 * 10 = 30
Therefore, there are 30 shorts available for sale.
