Given :
The ratio of the number of adults to the number of students at a field trip has to be 3:8.
During a current field trip, there are 190 more students on the trip than there are adults.
To Find :
How many students are attending the field trip? How many adults?
Solution :
Let, number of adults are x.
So, number of students are x + 190.
We know :
[tex]\dfrac{x}{x+190}=\dfrac{3}{8}\\\\8x = 3(x+190)\\\\8x -3x = 570\\\\5x = 570\\\\x = 114[/tex]
Number of students are 114 and number of adults are 114+190 = 304.
Hence, this is the required solution.
