Question 1051599
 In a museum, the ratio of adults to children is
2 to 14. If there are 320 people in the museum, how many children are there? 
I don't understand ratios. How do you figure out just by knowing the 2 to 14 ratio. 
adults = 2x
children = 14x
----
Equation:
2x + 14x = 320
16x = 320
x = 20
------
adults = 2x = 2*20 = 40
children = 14x = 14*20 = 280
