A hospital emergency room treated 36 people in one day. If 24 of the people were children, what was the ratio of children to adults that day?
Answer:
Ratio of children to adults is 2:1
Total people treated = 36
Total children treated = 24
Hence, remaining were adults = 36 - 24 = 12
So, ratio of children to adults = 24:12 = 2:1
Hence, ratio of children to adults is 2:1.
