Answer:

20 5/8 yd^2

Step-by-step explanation:

width = 3 3/4 yd

length = 5 1/2 yd

First change both measurements to fractions.

3 3/4 = 3 + 3/4 = 12/4 + 3/4 = 15/4

5 1/2 = 5 + 1/2 = 10/2 + 1/2 = 11/2

area = length * width

area = 15/4 yd * 11/2 yd

area = (15 * 11)/(4 * 2) yd^2

area = 165/8 yd^2

165/8 = 20 remainder 5

area = 20 5/8 yd^2

11x - 6 This is what you finally get.

A group of 2 adults and 4 children spent $38 on tickets to a museum. A group of 3 adults and 3 children spent $40.50 on tickets
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

adult $8.00

child $5.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of 1 adult ticket = x.

Let the price of 1 child ticket = y.

2x + 4y = 38

3x + 3y = 40.5

Multiply the first equation by 3. Multiply the second equation by -2. Then add them.

         6x + 12y = 114

(+)      -6x - 6y = -81

-----------------------------

                  6y = 33

y = 33/6

y = 5.5

2x + 4y = 38

2x + 4(5.5) = 38

2x + 22 = 38

2x = 16

x = 8

Answer:

adult $8.00

child $5.50
