Answer:
[tex]4,012\ senior\ citizen[/tex]
[tex]4,012\ infants[/tex]
[tex]8,024\ children[/tex]
[tex]16,048\ adults[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is
On Saturday,1/8 of the people who visited were senior citizens,1/8 were infants,1/4 were children,and 1/2 were adults.How many of each group visited the zoo on Saturday? It's has to equal to 32,096 people
we know that
1/8 of people were senior citizen
1/8 were infants
1/4 were children
1/2 were adults
To find out how many of each group visited the zoo on Saturday, multiply the total of people by the fraction of each group
so
[tex]\frac{1}{8}(32,096)= 4,012\ senior\ citizen[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{8}(32,096)= 4,012\ infants[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{4}(32,096)= 8,024\ children[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2}(32,096)= 16,048\ adults[/tex]
Verify
The sum of the total of each group must be equal to 32,096 people
so
[tex]4,012+4,012+8,024+16,048=32,096\ people[/tex] ----> is correct
