If the ratio of children to adults is 5:7 and there are 100 children at an arts festival, how many adults are in attendance?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

140 adults.

Step-by-step explanation:

5:7 Ratio. 100 Children, so if we want the adults we want to reverse the ratio, 100 x 7/5 = 140.  

140 Adults.

To check our work we can see if the fractions are the same, so divide 5/7 and 100/140 and you'll see they both have the same result.
