Answer:the number of children that swam in the public pool that day is 222

the number of adult that swam in the public pool that day is 259

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of children that swam in the public pool that day.

Let y represent the number of adult that swam in the public pool that day.

On a certain hot summer day, 481 people used the public swimming pool. This means that

x + y = 481

The daily prices are 1.25 for children and 2.25 for adults. The receipts for admission totaled to 86.25. This means that

1.25x + 2.25y = 860.25 - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 481 - y into equation 1, it becomes

1.25(481 - y) + 2.25y = 860.25

601.25 - 1.25y + 2.25y = 860.25

- 1.25y + 2.25y = 860.25 - 601.25

y = 259

Substituting y = 259 into x = 481 - y, it becomes

x = 481 - 259

x = 222

Kryger [21]

Answer:

1.2 kilometers per minute; 6 kilometers in 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the KM per minute, divide the speed per hour (72) by 60 (minutes in one hour)

72/60 = 1.2 KM per minute

To find the KM for 5 minutes, multiply the KM per minute (1.2) times 5 minutes: 1.2*5 = 6 KM
