participants is 2:3. How many teenagers travelled from out-of-town to the swim

meet?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 30 out of towners

Step-by-step explanation:

locals: out of town: total

2            3                     2+3 = 5

There are 50 total 50/5 =10 so multiply each term by 10

locals: out of town: total

2*10        3 *10              5*10

20                 30             50

There are 30 out of towners

Answer 2

Total teenagers = 50

Ratio = 2:3

Let the ratio people out of town be x

2x + 3x = 50

5x = 50

x = 10

Therefore 3× 10, 30 people out of town travelled to swim meet
