#1: 214 tickets split 9 ways does not work out to an integer number. Nobody wants 2/3 of a ticket, right?
So the trick here is to determine the first multiple of 9 greater than 214.
Note that 214/9 = 23.8. No good. Not an integer.
Multiply 23 by 9; we get 207. Multiply 24 by 9; we get 216.
So, given that we have 214 tickets already, we need 2 more, to make 216.
Check: Is 216 divisible by 9 without a remainder? Yes. Then each of the 9 students will get 24 tickets.
The rest of the problems are somewhat similar to this one.
See whether you can do the next one, #2.
If you'd share your results, I'd be happy to comment on what you've done.
Answer:
318.6
Step-by-step explanation:
(3x-9) + (x+15) = 180
3x (x+15) -9 (x+15)
4x + 45x - 9x + 6 = 180
40x + 6 = 180
40x = 180 - 6
40x = 174
x = 4.34
(3x-9) = 4.34 * 3x-9 = 4.02
(x+15) = 4.34 + 15 = 19.34
180 - (4.02 + 19.34)
= 180 - 23.36
= 156.64
hope this answer helps!!

Answer:
4800 / 32=150 milligrams per ant. Since each ant can carry 50x its bod weight, then 150/50=3 milligrams, which about the weight of each ant
Divide 5025 by 1675 then whatever you get multiply it by 5 that will get you t when d is 5025
