Question

If there were five times as many children as adults at the picnic and there were at least 120 people at the picnic, how many adults and children were at the picnic?

Answer 1

Answer: 20 adults and 100 children

Explanation:

a = adults, c = children

120 = a + c

c = 5a

120 = a + 5a

120 = 6a

20 = a

20 times 5 is 100 so 100 children
