There are 144 people in an audience. The ratio of adults to children is 5 to 3. How many children are in the audience.

In the audience, there are 90 adults and 54 children

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have 5 adults for every 3 children, we would continue this pattern by saying we have 10 adults for every 6 children, 15 adults for every 9 children, and so on.

We can express this situation into an equation by saying 5x + 3x = 144

8x = 144

x = 18

So now we know there are 5(18) = 90 adults for every 3(18) = 54 children

In the audience, there are 90 adults and 54 children

In the audience, there are 90 adults and 54 children
