If there are exactly 5 times as many children as adults at a show, which of the following cannot be the number of people at the show?
a) 102
b) 80
c) 36
d) 30


Sagot :

If the number of adults in  the show would be represented by the variable a, the relationship of the number of adults and the children will be:

a=5a

therefore, the number of people in the show would be represented by:

5a+a or 6a

Therefore, 80 cannot be the number of people in the show because it is not divisible by 6
