Answer:
<em><u>11 rides</u></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>First Step - Subtract 6 from 40 because that will not be of use for now.</u>
<em>40-6=34</em>
<u>Next Step - divide 34 by 3 to find the number of rides.</u>
<em>(you will end up with a decimal so I rounded it up to a whole number.)</em>
<em>34/3=11 (rounded)</em>
<em><u>The final answer is 11 rides.</u></em>
<em>Hope this helped :)</em>
Use distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac
1/3(9a + b) - 1/2(4a + 2b) = 3a + 1/3b - 2a - b = a - 2/3b
The first one is not proportional and the second one is proportional.
