At the newest animated movie, for every 9 children, there are 4 adults. there are a total of 39 children and adults at the movie. how many children are at the movie?

For every 9 children, there are 4 adults.
If there are 39 children and adults, we can work backwards to find the answer.

Lets start by multiplying 9. Lets do 3. 9 x 3 = 27.
Ok, now we have an estimate of 27 Children, now all we have to do is multiply the number of adults by 3.
Now we can multiply 4 x 3. 4 x 3 = 12. Now we have the number of children and adults.
Now lets add these together. 12 + 27 = 39! Perfect! Now we know that there are 27 children, and 12 adults.

Hope this helps!!

so the perpendicular line goes through the given pointyou would get a perpendicular line at some random location

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
