Answer 10

uhhhhh frost bite?

Answer 11

95 more children, so 7/9 of the people the children portion is 95.
Knowing that:
(7/9 - 2/9)*x = 95
5/9 * x = 95
So the total people would be:
95 * 9/5 = 171
Next we do:
2/9 *171 = 38
To get the adult count.
And this for the children count:
7/9 *171 = 133

Answer 15

@AonZ
You know what a variable is right?

Answer 16

not really

Answer 17

Okay let me do this step by step.

Answer 18

ty

Answer 19

\[9/9\]would be everyone in the restaurant.
Given to us is 2/9 is adults.
So that leaves? 9 - 2 = 7
7/9 Must be children.

Do you understand so far before I continue?

Answer 20

yes

Answer 21

100%

Answer 22

For each "9" people there are 5 more then adults.
So:
Let's use a variable now which will be "P" for people.
5/9 * P = 95
Now let's flip over 95 to the other side.
95 * 9/5 (it becomes 9/5 due to a rule) = P
95 * 9/5 = 171
Correct?
Now we know the total amount of people. Do you understand?

Answer 23

ohhhhh i get now

Answer 24

i get the question

Answer 25

it is just that part that i got lost

Answer 26

yay so their is 133 children

Answer 27

Okay.
So:
Since we now know the total:
Next we do:
2/9(Adults) *171 = 38 Adults
And this for the children count:
7/9(Children) *171 = 133 Children
So there for 133 Children are in the restaurant.

Answer 28

and 38 adults

Answer 29

ty frost byte my coaching techer will not kill me now

Answer 30

done my homework

Answer 31

Haha :) I'm happy you didn't die.
There is another method you could do:
Take 95 / 5(Since we know there is 5 more children then adults.) And you get 19.
So you need 19 sets of 2 adults and 7 children to equal the total.
19 x 2 = 38 Adults
19 x 7 = 133 Children
Check your work:
133 - 38 = 95
See?

Answer 32

ohhhh i think this is a better method for me

Answer 33

I guess. But if your in Pre-Algebra. Go with the first method. I'm cleaner and faster.
And you'll use it more often too.
