Question

There are 150 people in a school dance. The ratio of adult to students is 2: 3. How

many adults are in the dance ?

Answer 1

60 adults

Explanation:

There are 60 adults in the dance because as we have 150 people and the ratio of adults to students is 2:3, we need to add 2+3=5. Now we have 5 parts, so 150÷5=30. This means that there are 30 people per part, and as adults hold 2 parts of it, 30 x 2=60. So, there are 60 adults in the dance. Hope it helps!
