Acommunity center is going on a trip to philadelphia via several buses. the ratio of men to women to children is 1: 2: 3. if there are 150 people going on the trip, how many men are going? how many women are going? how many children are going? show the steps you use to solve the problem

1x= men, 2x= women, 3x= children

1x+2x+3x=150.
6x=150
6x/6=150/6
x=30

1x=1×30=30 | 30 men
2x=2×30=60 | 60 women
3x=3×30=90 | 90 children

First have to identify the total ratio of the people going for the trip,and by that I mean you have to add 1,2 and 3.1+2+3=6
6=to the total ratio of people going for the trip.
men=1/6
women=2/6
children=3/6
6/6=150 people
1/6=?
1/6*150*6/6=25men.

6/6=150
2/6=?
2/6*150*6/6=50women.

6/6=150
3/6=?
3/6*150*6/6=75children
