Question

At a naming ceremony 5/9 of the people were adult men, 2/15 were adult women and the rest were children. If there were 28 children at the naming ceremony, find the total number of people at the naming ceremony.​

Answer 1

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

5/9 of the people were adult men, and 2/15 were adult women. Therefore, the sum of the two, 31/45 of the people are adults. This means that 14/45 of the people are children. Since 28 are 14/45 of the total, the total number will be 90
