Answer:

The iron weighed 1/12 pound more than the aluminum.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of the aluminum is given as 1/2 pound. But that can also be written as 6/12 pound.

This is a subtraction problem (subtracting fractions...so also a common denominator problem)

In order to subtract fractions you have to get a common denominator.

7/12 - 1/2

= 7/12 - 6/12

= 1/12

The iron is 1/12 pound heavier than the aluminum.

Ripley’s Aquarium charges $29.95 for (a) adults and $13.95 for (c) children. Write an expression to represent admission pricing
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

T=29.95a + 13.95c

Step-by-step explanation:

For this equation let a=amount of adult tickets, c=amount of children tickets, and T=the total cost. Since each adult ticket costs 29.95 dollars that needs to be multiplied by the number of adult tickets to see how much was spent on adults, the same goes for the price and number of children tickets. Finally, both of those totals need to be added together to see how much is spent overall for all of the guests.
