Question 1208202
<br>
3/7 of the female visitors were children:
(Among female visitors, the ratio of children to adults was 3:4)
3x = # of female children
4x = # of female adults<br>
1/4 of the male visitors were children:
(Among male visitors, the ratio of children to adults was 1:3)
y = # of male children
3y = # of male adults<br>
The number of female adults was 1/3 of the number of male adults:
4x = (1/3)(3y) = y
y = 4x<br>
The total number of visitors was 1081:
7x+4y = 1081
7x+4(4x) = 1081
23x = 1081
x = 1081/23 = 47<br>
how many adult visitors were at the museum?
4x+3y = 4x+3(4x) = 16x = 16(47) = 752<br>
ANSWER: 752<br>
