Answer 2

There are 27 children at the movie

Explanation:

We are given that for every 9 children, there are 4 adults.

So, ratio of Children to adult is 9:4

Let the ratio be x

So, no. of children = 9x

No. of adults = 4x

We are given that There are a total of 39 children and adults at the movie.

So,
`9x+4x=39\\13x=39\\x=(39)/(13)\\x=3`

So, no. of children = 9x = 9(3)=27

Hence there are 27 children at the movie
