Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
If the teacher has 1/2 of an eraser, and she divides it into 2 pieces to give 1 to each of her students, she gives (1/2) / 2 = (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4 of the eraser to each student.
Each student takes home 1/4 of the eraser.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
500
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
20 and 22
Step-by-step explanation:
The number are the product of two consecutive even integers and equals 440.
Start by writing out the information you know mathematically (I used S for cost of senior ticket, and C for cost of child ticket. You could use X and Y, or any other combination of letters as variables)
3s + 1c=38
3s + 2c=52
Now, you'll want to eliminate one of the variables by subtracting it out. Remember - Same sign, subtract (and therefore different sign, add).
In this case, 3s exists in the first and second equation, so it's very easy to get rid of. They're both positive, so they have the same sign (+). Same sign, subtract.
3s + 1c=38
-(3s + 2c=52)
__________
0 -1c= -14
-c=-14
C=14
Now, plug c=14 into either of the original equations.
3s + C= 38
3s + 14=38
3s=24
S=8.
So, a child ticket costs $14 and a senior ticket costs $8.
