the ratio of adult to children in the spot club is 5:3 There are 120 people in the club. how many children are there

You start by making an equation:

3x+5x=120

Then combine like terms

8x=120

Divide 8 by both sides

x=15

Now that we have that we can figure out how many children and adults there are

Children: 3x15=45 children
Adults: 5x15=75 adults

Also, you can type this in your calculator for a faster method

Children : 120 x(3/8) =45
because eight is the sum of the ratio 5+3

And Adults : 120 x(5/8)=75

So the answer to your question is 45 children.

Hope this helps!!!
