There were 35 children and 10 adults at a cookout.What is the ratio of adults to children at the cookout?What is the ratio of children to total people at the cookout?

Answer :

to find out the ratio of adults to children we need to divide the number of adults by the number of children and simplify the fraction:

[tex]\frac{10}{35}=\frac{\frac{10}{5}}{\frac{35}{5}}=\frac{2}{7}[/tex]

so the ratio of adults to children at the cookout is: 2:7

and total people= children + adults= 35+10=45

so now for the ratio of children to total people, we divide the number of children by 45

[tex]\frac{35}{45}=\frac{\frac{35}{5}}{\frac{45}{5}}=\frac{7}{9}[/tex]

So the ratio of children to total people at the cookout is: 7:9
