At a restaurant, the ratio of kids' meals sold to adult meals sold was 3:9. If there were 12 kids' meals sold, what is the combined total of kids' and adult meals sold?

have the unknown amount = x so 3x : 9x you know how many kids meals were bought is equal to the ratio (3x = 12, so x=4) you already know how many X's for the adults (9) so just multiply (9x4= 36) lastly add since you need to find the total meals bought (36+12= 48)

[ \frac{3}{9} = \frac{12}{x}
3x = 108, x = 36
36+12 = 48]

There were 12 kids' meals and 36 adult meals sold, making the combined total 48 meals. This was calculated using the ratio provided (3:9) and the known quantity of kids' meals. The final total is obtained by adding the two quantities together.
