You will have a system of equations.
Let's say that the number of adult tickets sold is x. The number of child ticket sold is y.
We know that they sold 400 tickets, so: x + y = 400
We also know that they earned $1475
An adult ticket is $5 and a child ticket is $2, so: x * 5 + y * 2 = 1475
Because x + y = 400, we know that y = 400 - x. We use this in the main equation instead of the variable y:
x * 5 + (400-x) * 2 = 1475
5x + 800 - 2x = 1475
3x + 800 = 1475
3x = 675
x = 225
Because x + y = 400, we can calculate that y = 175
They sold 225 adult tickets and 175 child tickets.
Umm. so the product is between 1400 and 2100. umm n answer d
If you are multiplying, you are simply putting the fraction that is listed in, but when dividing, you use the reciprocal of the fraction.
Let's say that each pizza is sliced into 8 equal sized pieces, I have to make all of the fraction have the denominator of 8.
Conor: 1/4 * 2/2 = 2/8
Tyler: 3/4 * 2/2 = 6/8
Brandon: 2/8
Audrey: 4/8
Then I'll put the fractions in order from least to greatest. 2/8, 2/8, 4/8, 6/8. Then you would have to multiply each fraction by 2 since there are two pizzas that have 8 equally sized pieces.
Brandon: 2/8 *2/2 = 4/16
Conor: 2/8 * 2/2 = 4/16
Audrey: 4/8 * 2/2 = 8/16
Tyler: 6/8 * 2/2= 12/16
This means that Tyler ate the most of the two pizzas.
