7800 people visited an exhibition centre. There were 3 times as many adults as children. How many adults were there?
Answers
Answer:
5850 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all we should understand the question and then move on and make the equation.
It is given in the question that total no. of people of people are 7800 and adults were 3 times as many as children. It means that whatever be the no. of children,the no. of adults would be 3 times the children's no. So let us consider the number of children be "x"
and now the no. of adults would be 3x. So we get the following equation
=> 3x + x = 7800
=> 4x = 7800
=> x = 7800/4
=> x = 1950
So we have got the no. of children as 1950.
Now we have two steps to find the no. of adults. First is that we can subtract the no. of children from total people. The other is that we find the no. of adults(3x) by the equation and find it by multiplying the no. of children(x or 1950) by 3 which becomes "3x or 5850."
3x(adults) = 3 × "1950(children)" = 5850
Or
7800(people) - 1950(x or children) = 5850
