Question

The ratio of the number of adults to the number of children on a certain bus tour was 4 to 22. If the total number of passengers on the bus tour was 91, how many adults were on the tour? 14 48 65 69 77

Answer 1

14 adults

Explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio , 4 + 22 = 26 parts

divide the total number by 26 to find the value of one part of the ratio

4 parts = 4 × 3.5 = 14

then number of adults on bus tour was 14
