Answer:

16 rides

Step-by-step explanation:

Option 1 . Admission fee = $10

                Each ride = $0.50

Option 2 . Admission fee = $6

                Each ride = $0.75

Let no. of rides be x

So, cost of ride according to option 1 = 0.50x

So, total cost after having x rides according to option 1 :

= 10+0.50x  ---1

Cost of ride according to option 2 = 0.75x  

So, total cost after having x rides according to option 2 :

= 6+0.75x  --2

Now to find the beak even point i.e. having the same cost

Equate 1 and 2

10+0.50x=6+ 0.75x

10-6= 0.75x-0.50x

4= 0.25x

\frac{4}{0.25} =x

16=x

Thus for 16 rides , the two options have the same cost .

Hence the break even point is 16 rides

You have quarters and dimes that total $2.80. your friend says it is possible that the number of quarters is 8 more than the num
ss7ja [257]
To answer this question, you need to know that a quarter is worth $0.25 and dimes worth $0.10. In this case, the total number of money that made from quarters and dimes is $2.80
With Q=quarter and D=dime, then the equation should be:
2.80= 0.25 Q + 0.10 D

The condition that needs to be fulfilled in this case is that the quarter should be 8 more than dimes. Then you need to find out the highest possible number of the quarter and lowest possible number of the dimes.  
If you divide 2.8 with 0.25 you will found it will be 11.2 but 11 quarter will result with 0.05 value which you cannot remove, so the highest possible of the quarter should be 10.
If the highest possible of the quarter is 10, then the lowest possible of dimes should be:
2.8= 0.25(10) + 0.10D
0.10D= 0.3
D=3

Since 10-3 is 7, then it is not possible for the quarter to be 8 more than the dimes.

=1/69

12/14×1/84

=1/14×1/7

=1/98

1/7×5/65

=1/7×1/13

=1/91

17/20×1/61

=17/1220

4 1/4 ×3 1/22

=17/4×67/22

=1,139/88

=12 83/88

3 5/6×4 1/23

How do you tell if a number is irrational or rational?
Korvikt [17]
A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction
(ex: -5/2, 4 1/7, and 8/13)

An irrational number is any number that cannot be expressed as a fraction; a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal (ex: pi, 0.121231234...)

Hope this helps! :)
