1 1/4 is greater than 1/2
There are 5- 1/4's in 1 1/4
There are 2- 1/4's in 1/2
Answer:
The results don't make sense
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve by means of a 2x2 system of equations, we have to:
"x" is the number of children's tickets
"y" is the number of adult tickets
Thus:
8 * x + 8.75 * y = 259
x + y = 35 => x = 35 - y
replacing we have:
8 * (35 - y) + 8.75 * y = 259
280 - 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259
- 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259 - 280
0.75 * y = -21
y = -21 / 0.75
y = -28
Thus:
x = 35 - (-28) = 63
With these results we notice that the problem has inconsistency, since the value of the tickets cannot be given a negative number, I recommend reviewing the problem, since the approach is correct.
Answer: a. 10%
Step-by-step explanation:
Girls in the class = 40%
Girls play tennis = 25%
Percentage of class play tennis = 40%*25% = 0.4*0.25 = 0.1
Percentage of class play tennis = 10%
The answer is root. Hope this helps!
