Answer:
a lot
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
90 tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number of tickets be x
and the total amount each has be y
For Jessica
the amount is
y=10x--------1
for Laurie the amount is
Note: she has $360 already
y=360+6x-------2
to find the number of the tickets that will make them have the same amount, let us equate 1 and 2
10x=360+6x
10x-6x=360
4x=360
x=360/4
x=90
There are two ways you could go about solving this.
You could divide the length of the base (6mm) by 2 and use that to find the area or you could find the area of the whole triangle using 6mm and divide that by 2.
I will use the first method I described:
base = 6/2
base = 3 mm
height = 5.2 mm
area = bh/2
area = (3 * 5.2)/2
area = 7.8 square mm
(don't forget your units)
Using the other method would look like this:
area = bh/2
b = 6
h = 5.2
area = (6 * 5.2)/2
area = 15.6 square mm
area/2 = 7.8 square mm
As you can see either method yields the same result.
Hope this helped.
Cheers and good luck,

5 x 3/4 = 15/4
15/4 = 3 3/4
