Answer:
The number of child tickets sold by the amusement park is 189.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A represent the number of adult tickets and C represents the number of child tickets, therefore we have:
3:1 = C:A .................... (1)
Where;
C = ?
A = 63
Substituting for the value into equation (1), we have:
3:1 = C:63
This can be converted to solve for C as follows:
3 / (3 + 1) = C / (C + 63)
3 / 4 = C / (C + 63)
0.75 = C / (C + 63)
0.75(C + 63) = C
0.75C + (0.75 * 63) = C
0.75C + 47.25 = C
47.25 = C - 0.75C
47.25 = 0.25C
C = 47.25 / 0.25
C = 189
Therefore, the number of child tickets sold by the amusement park is 189.
If Ms. Callahan has 24 feet of fencing, and she is building a pen, the PERIMETER of the pen must be 24 feet. The perimeter is basically the distance around a figure. The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to length plus width plus length plus width, AKA l+w+l+w, or P=2l+2w. In a rectangle, two pairs of sides are of equal length--so the two lengths and the two widths must be equal.
So, the formula is P=2l+2w. P, the perimeter, is 24, so 24=2l+2w. Let's try some values for l and see what we get for w. If the length is 1, l=1. 24=(2*1)+2w. 24=2+2w. 22=2w. w=11. So if length is 1 foot, width is 11 feet.
What if l=2? 24=(2*2)+2w. 24=4+2w. 2w=20. w=10. If l=2, w=10. And l=3? 24=(2*3)+2w. 24=6+2w. 18=2w. w=9. If l=3, w=9. Do you see a pattern? Every time we add 1 to l, we subtract 1 from w. So if l=4, w=8. If l=5, w=7. If l=6, w=6. Here, we start getting similar answers: if l=7, w=5. If l=8, w=4. Since we already know these values work, it doesn't matter whether we call it length or width. So, our answers are below.
Answer: Ms Callahan can make a pen with a length of 1 foot and a width of 11 feet, a length of 2 feet and a width of 10 feet, a length of 3 feet and a width of 9 feet, a length of 4 feet and a width of 8 feet, a length of 5 feet and a width of 7 feet, or a length of 6 feet and a width of 6 feet.
Let the smaller number be x and the larger number be y.
We can calculate this by using simultaneous equation, aka listing 2 equations out.
From given,
X + y = 43
Let this be equation no. 1
X + 19 = y
Let this number be equation 2.
We can do simultaneous equations either by substitute method or elimination. In this case I'm using substitute.
We can already obtain the value of y (in terms of x) in euqation no. 2, so all we gonna do is to put y into equation 1.
X + x + 19 = 43
Solve this by algebra.
2x = 43 - 19
X = 12
Now we know the exact value of x
Now substitute x = 12 into equation no. 2
12 + 19 = y
Y = 31
So the answer is 12 and 31
