Answer 2

Hi !!!

Your answer is below ...

It is given that the total population is 2907. The ratio of adults to children is 2:1.

We have to find the number of adults in the village.

Let the common ratio be x.
So, number of adults = 2x.
and, number of children = x.

It is given that the their sum is 2907.

So, 2x + x = 2907.
3x = 2907
x = 2907/3
x = 969.
Hence, number of children = 969.

and, the number of adults = 2x = 2 X 969 = 1938.

Hence, the number of adults is 1938 in the village.

Hope it helps...
