Answer: 120 pieces.


Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1 yard = 36 inches

Given: The length of each piece of ribbon= 25 yards=25\times36=900\text{ inches}

If she needs to cut 22 inches long pieces, then the total number of pieces cut from 1 ribbon=\frac{900}{22}=40.0909\approx40\text{ pieces}

Thus, the total number of pieces she cut from 3 ribbons=3\times40=120\text{ pieces}

Hence, the greatest number of 22-inch pieces that she can cut from the three ribbons =120

Well 1 yard is 36 inches so 25 yards is 900 and then divide the 900 by 22 which equals 40.9090 but you have to put this down to 40 and because you have 3 ribbons it's 40 x 3 = 120!

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide fractions, flip one of the fractions then multiply them together.

-1/10 ÷ -3/5 =

-1/10 ÷ -5/3=

William bought some tickets to see his favorite singer. He bought some adult tickets and some children’s tickets, for a total of
Fantom [35]
Set x as adult tickets.
Set y as children's tickets.
x + y = 15
30x + 20y = 270
Solve for x in the first equation.
x + y = 15
x = 15 - y
Plug this into the second equation.
30x + 20y = 270
30(15 - y) + 20y = 270
450 - 30y + 20y = 270
450 - 10y = 270
-10y = -180
y = 18
If there is 18 childrens tickets, there should be -3 adult tickets.
This is impossible, and this impossible answer occured because the question is written wrong.
There are a total of 15 tickets
The smallest costing ticket is the childrens ticket, which costs 20$.
If he only bought children tickets, this would be 20x15 which is 300$.
300$ is over 270$, which makes the question impossible.
