Answer: 2 1/3
Explanation:
10 2/6 - 7 5/6
You can make both a fraction by multiplying the denominator by the whole number, and then adding the numerator to that number, and keeping the denominator the same. So, 10*6 = 60 and 60 + 2 = 62 and you keep the denominator as 6, which would make 62/6
7*6 = 42 and 42 + 5 = 47 so 7 5/6 becomes 47/6
10 2/6 is equivalent to 62/6
7 5/6 is equivalent to 47/6
This just makes it easier to look at.
Now you just work through the equation.
62/6 - 47/6 = 15/6
15/6 = 2 3/6 = 2 1/3
Let x = number of adults tickets sold
then, 1750 - x = number of children tickets sold
We know that the cost for adult tickets is $5 and and children is above calculated so sum total tickets sold cost is $7100.
($5)(x) + ($2)(1750-x) = $7100
5x - 2x + 3500 = 7100
3x = 3600
x = 1200
Answer:
There are a total of possible 1820 results.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there are two competitions, one for boys and one for girls, and we want all the possible results we will calculate the possible combinations for the boys and multiply them by the possible combinations for the girls. This is shown below:
Total number of possible results:
