A small theater sold 72 tickets for a play. The ratio of adult tickets to child tickets was 4:1. The ratio of adult tickets to s

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Adult 36

Children 9

senior 27

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 types of tickets as seen from the question;

Adult, children and seniors tickets.

Now, looking at the question critically,

Since the ratio of adults to children and senior citizens stands at 4: a specific value, we can then conclude that the ratio of tickets sold is 4:1:3

where 1 and 3 represents the ratio for the children and seniors respectively

So let’s calculate the individual ratio now.

For the total, we have 4 + 1 + 3 = 8

Thus, for the adults, we have 4/8 * 72 = 36

For the children, we have 1/8 * 72 = 9

For the seniors, we have 3/8 * 72 = 27

Y^2-2y+1=x+5<br><br> Make y the theme of the formula in the equation

Tanzania [10]

Answer: y = 1 +/- $\sqrt{x+5}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

y² - 2y + 1 = x + 5

(y - 1)² = x + 5

$\sqrt{(y-1)^{2}} = \sqrt{x+5}$

y - 1 = +/- $\sqrt{x+5}$

y = 1 +/- $\sqrt{x+5}$

there are 3 slices of pie left, and the angle measurement is 72 degrees, how many slices was the pie cut in to

Daniel [21]

15; this is because 3 pies make up 72
with this you can make it so that 3x=72
After this you need to find x which is a single pie
so; (3x/3)=(72/3)
x= 24
Since you know a circle is 360 degrees all around the center
You can do 360/24 making it 15 pies.

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Brother is 70.5 and sister is 64.5

Step-by-step explanation:

you will need to set up a simple equation and give out variables.

Girls age = 6-x

Brother's age= x

the you will take those 2 and add them and place them equal to 135:

6-x+x=135

6-2x+6=135+6

The 6 cancels out

2x=141

2x/2=141/2

x=70.5

The brother's age would be 70.5 then and the girl's would be 64.5
