Answer:

6 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of children

y ----> the number of adults

we know that

The ratio

[tex]\frac{x}{y}=\frac{20}{15}[/tex]

so

using proportion

Find the value of y for x=(20-12)=8

[tex]\frac{20}{15}=\frac{8}{y}\\\\y=15*8/20\\\\y=6[/tex]

therefore

6 adults
