Question

64 movie tickets are sold. 5/8 of the tickets were for adult admission. How many adult admission tickets were sold?

Answer 1

First take note 64 tickets were sold in total and 5/8 of those tickets were for adults.

To solve this you must first make 5/8 a decimal and to do so you will divide 5 by 8.

which is equal to .625

Now multiply 65 by .625

Which will equal 40.42500

So the answer is 40

Answer 2

40 adult admission tickets were sold
