Problema Solution
A group of 52 people attended a ball game. There are 3 times as many children as there are adults. Find out how many children and adults attended the game.
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the number of adults, then '3x' represents the number of children
52 = x + 3x
52 = 4x
x = 52/4 = 13
13*3 = 39
There were 39 children and 13 adults attending the ball game
