Question

At a baseball game there were three times as many males as females. 5/6 of the males were boys and the rest were men 2/3 of the females were girls and the rest were women. Given that we’re 121 more boys than girls, how many adults were there at the baseball game?

Answer 1

5/2x -121 = 2/3x

15/6 x =4/6 = 121

11/6x =121 6/11

x=66

1/3*66=22

1/2*66=33

33+22=55

so there were 55 adults
