The fraction of the journey Sapna traveled by car and train is 3/8 and 5/8 respectively.
We know that fraction is an expression in mathematics used to denote the division of two whole numbers.
Given that the total distance = 48 km.
The distance Sapna traveled by car = 18 km.
So, the fraction is = distance traveled by car/total distance = 18/48 = 3/8
The distance Sapna traveled by train = 48 - 18 km = 30 km.
So, the fraction is = distance traveled by train/total distance = 30/48 = 5/8
Therefore the fraction of the journey Sapna traveled by car and train is 3/8 and 5/8 respectively.

Answer:
a = $13.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = adult tickets
Let c = children tickets
Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation;
<u>For the Martinez family;</u>
2a + 3c = $60
<u>For the Wright family;</u>
3a + 5c = $95.5
Thus, the simultaneous equations are;
..........equation 1
.........equation 2
We would use substitution method to solve;
From equation 2, we make a the subject of formula;
3a = 95.5 - 5c
a = (95.5 - 5c)/3
<em>Substituting the value of "a" into equation 1, we have;</em>
2[(95.5-5c)/3] + 3c = 60
Multiplying all through by 3;
2(95.5 - 5c) + 9c = 180
191 - 10c + 9c = 180
191 - c = 180
c = 191-180
c = $11
To find the value of a;
2a +3c = 60
<em>Substituting the value of "c" into the equation, we have;</em>
a = $13.5
<em>Therefore, the cost of an adult movie ticket is $13.5. </em>
Answer: OPTION A
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between any number is always positive so we should apply the absolute value.
The distance between numbers=number 1-number2 (or vise versa, and that is why we need absolute value)
In your question, the two numbers are 3/4 and 2. Applying to the expression above, the distance between two numbers should be |3/4-2| or |2-3/4|.
The only option in your case is |3/4-2| and this is it.
Hope this helps!! :)
