280 adults were there in the train.
What is linear equation definition and example?
Given,
Total children are in the train = 40
1/8 are children in train and no of children in train ,
∴ 1/8 × x = 40
x = 40 × 8 ⇒ 320
The no of passenger in train = 320
in total passenger, 40 are children .
So, rest adults passengers are = 320 - 40 ⇒ 280
There fore, 280 adults were there in the train.
