You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 120 people staying at the STAR hotel.
The ratio of adults to children is 3:2.
3x+2x = 120
5x = 120
x = 24
# of adults = 3x = 72
------------------------------
The ratio of females to males is 5:1 for adults
5x+x = 72
6x = 72
x = 12 (this is the number of adult males in the hotel)
