No that's as low as it goes

1/6 cannot be reduced because it is a unit fraction. To simplify a fraction, the numerator must be above one, otherwise it can't be divided evenly. 1/6 is a simplified version of a fraction but cannot be simplified itself.

68% of the tickets sold at a water park were child tickets. If the park sold 50 tickets in all, how many child tickets did it se

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

$\boxed{\bf\: The \: park \: sold \boxed{ 34{}} \: child \: tickets.}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Percentage of Tickets sold at a water park - 68%

The Number of Tickets if the park sold in all - 50

To Find:

The Number of child tickets the park sold.

Solution:

We know that 68% equals to 68/100.

Step 1: Multiply 68/100 by 50 which is the number of tickets the park sold :-

$\sf \: = \: \cfrac{68}{100} \times 50$

Note:The Simplified form of 68/100 * 50 would be the answer to this question.

Step 2: Cancel One zero of 50 and one zero of 100,That is:-

$\sf = \cfrac{68}{ 10\cancel0} \times 5 \cancel0$

Results to,

$\sf = \cfrac{68}{10} \times 5$

Step 3: Cancel 5 and 10, That is:-

$\sf = \cfrac{68}{ \cancel{10 }} \times \cancel5$

Results to,

$\sf =\: \cfrac{68}{2} \times 1$

$\sf = \cfrac{68}{2}$

Step 4: Cancel 68 and 2, That is:-

$\sf =\: \cfrac{ \cancel{68}}{ \cancel2}$

Results to,

$\sf = \cfrac{34}{1}$

$\sf = 34$

34 is the result.

Hence,

$\underline{ \rm \: The \: park \: sold \: \bold{ 34 } \: child \: tickets.}$

In order to solve for the variable in the equation 2 (4 x + 3) + 4 = 3 x minus (2 x + 4), Giovanni first applies the distributiv

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

8x + 6 + 4 = 3x - (2x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

When Gio applies the distributive property, the equation above is the result. Naturally, I look at the 1st parenthesis I see and start the 1st distributive property there first. The 2nd distributive property would be the other parenthesis where you multiply by -1, so you would get 8x + 6 + 4 = 3x - 2x - 4

a sixth grade class has 12 boys and 24 girls consider this statement: for every two boys there are 4 girls do you ag

Nitella [24]

So the ratio of boys to girls is 12:24.. now, is that an equivalent ratio as 2 boys for 4 girls? or 2:4? let's see.

$\bf \cfrac{boys}{girls}\qquad 12:24\qquad \cfrac{12}{24}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{1}{2}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{boys}{girls}\qquad 2:4\qquad \cfrac{2}{4}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{1}{2}}$

you could start simplifying the 12/24 fraction by dividing by some common multiple, say 2, and get 6/12, then divide by 3 and get 2/4 and stop there.

then you'll notice that 12/24 is really 2/4 in disguise.
