Question

There were 25 children and 15 adults at the beach. Emery said that there were 5 children for every 3 adults. Is he correct. Explain

Answer 1

The statement is correct as we will simplify the ratio of adults to children and will come down this.

25 children / 15 adults

both are multiple of 15 and will be divided to come down to 5 / 3

therefore it can be said that there were 5 children for every 3 adults.
