To solve this problem, we first need to find the total number of people who visited the museum during the noon hour.

Let x be the total number of people who visited the museum during the noon hour.

We know that 63 adults represent 87.5% of the total number of people who visited the museum. This can be written as:

63 = 0.875x

Now, we need to solve for x:

63 = 0.875x
x = 63 / 0.875
x = 72

Therefore, the total number of people who visited the museum during the noon hour is 72.

So, the answer is:
a. 72
