the ratio of the number of adults to the number of children on a cruise was 13: 6. the ratio of girls to the total number of children was 2: 5. if there were 198 boys on the cruise, what was the total number of passengers?

1,045 passengers

Step-by-step explanation:

This question involves multiple steps. Let's first try to figure the number of children on the cruise.

The ratio of girls to the total number of children was 2:5. There are 198 boys.

This information tells me that for every 5 children, there's 2 girls and 3 boys.

Based off of this information, we can divide the total number of boys by 3 in order to find the number of children.

198÷3=66

Let's multiply 66 by 5 since that's the number of groupings based off the ratio.

66×5=330

Let's check the number of children. Since the ratio of girls to total children is 2:5 and we already confirmed there's 198 boys, there should be 132 girls. We can turn this ratio into a fraction where 2/5 of the children are girls. we can confirm this by multiply 330 by 2/5 (0.4) and getting 132.

There are 330 children on the cruise.

The ratio of the number of adults to the number of children was 13:6.

For every 6 children, there were 13 adults. Let's divide the number of children by 6 in order to find the number of groupings.

330÷6=55

Let's now multiply the groupings by 13 to find the number of adults.

55×13=715

So there should be 715 adults and 330 children on the cruise.

715+330=1,045

It is due to the relative velocity.

When you go opposite, the velocities of both buses get added increasing relative velocity

When we overtake it (in same direction) then the velocities get subtracted. Hence reducing relative velocity
