Question

the ratio of the number of men to the number of women to the number of children at a fun fair was 3:5:12. if there were 480 adult,then how many children were there​

Answer 1

Answer:

No. of children in the fun fair=720

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of ratios =3+5+12=20

total number of adults =480

let total number of people in the fun fair be x

No. of children =x-480

Sum of ratios of adults (i.e ratio of no. of men + ratio of no. of women) = 3+5=8

According to the question

8/20*x=480

x=480*20/8

x=1200

total no. of people =x = 1200

No. of children= x-480=1200-480

= 720
