Answer:
27/6, 4 3/6, or simplified version 4 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Always convert the mixed numbers into an improper fraction before you solve, this makes it easier to solve.
2 4/6 = 16/6
1 5/6 = 11/6
3 4/6 = 22/6
Now we solve. Remember, you do NOT add the denominator, leave it as 6 not 12. You only add the numerator.
16/6 + 11/6 = 27/6, 4 3/6 or simplified as 4 1/2
22/6 + 5/6 = The same as above.
So first remember the order of operations. Parentheses, exponents, multiply, divide, addition, subtraction.
So we have the following problem.
-(3*2)2+4*3-2
Multiply the three and two inside the parentheses first.
-6*2+4*3-2
Next multiply any numbers that need multiplied.
-12+12-2
Next add and subtract from left to right to get an answer of...
-2
Hope this helps!
We know the total tickets sold = 400.
Let x be the number of adult tickets sold.
That means 400 - x is the number of student tickets.
The revenue from adult tickets will be $3 * x, which we can call 3x.
The revenue from student ticks will be $2 * (400 - x), or 800 - 2x.
The total revenue is $1050, so that means:
3x + (800 - 2x) = 1050.
Removing the parentheses:
3x + 800 - 2x = 1050
Subtracting 800 from both sides:
3x - 2x = 250
Simplifying the left side:
x = 250, which is the number of adult tickets.
400-x = student tickets = 400-250 = 150.
ALWAYS check!
In this case, check the revenue:
3x = 3(250) = 750
2(150) = 300
750 + 300 = 1050. Check!
2 times 2 times 2 times 2= 16
