Answer:

  325 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

This "sum and difference" problem can be solved by assigning a single variable to the quantity you want to know. Let 'a' represent the number of adult tickets sold. Then (a-60) is the number of student tickets sold, and the total number sold is ...

  a +(a -60) = 590

  2a = 590 +60

  a = 650/2 = 325

There were 325 adult tickets sold.

__

<em>Check</em>

325-60 = 265 student tickets were sold, for a total of 325+265 = 590.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

You may have noticed that the larger number of tickets (number of adult tickets) was found to be the average of the two numbers given in the problem statement. That will generally be the case for a "sum and difference" problem.

An electrician has a piece of wire that is 4 and 3/8 centimeters long. She divides the wire into pieces that are 1 and 2/3 centi
Vlada [557]

Answer:

She has approximately 3 pieces ( 2.625)

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the number of pieces, we need to divide the length of the wire by the individual length of the pieces.

To get the division done, it would be easier to convert what we have into improper fractions

For the piece of wire, the length which is 4 and 3/8 centimeters long will be 35/8 centimeters

while;

the individual length of each of the piece which is 1 and 2/3 centimeters long will be 5/3 centimeters

The number of pieces is thus 35/8 divided by 5/3 = 35/8 * 3/5 = 21/8 = 2.625 which is approximately 3 pieces
