What to find?
Number of children in the park.
Given:
• Ratio of adult to children =12: 11
,
• Total ratio =23
,
• Number of people in the park =368
To solve the given problem, we will follow the steps below:
Step 1
Use the formula below to solve the given problem:
[tex]Number\text{ }of\text{ }children=\frac{ratio\text{ of children}}{total\text{ ratio}}\times number\text{ of people}[/tex]
Step 2
Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex]Number\text{ }of\text{ }children=\frac{11}{23}\times368[/tex][tex]=\frac{4048}{23}[/tex][tex]=176[/tex]
Therefore, there are 176 children in the park.
