Answer:the number of children that swam at the public pool is 259

the number of adult that swam at the public pool is 280

Step-by-step explanation:

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

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

On a certain hot​ summer's day,539 people used the public swimming pool. This means that

x+ y = 539

The daily prices are $ 1.25 for children and $ 2.50 for adults. The receipts for admission totaled $ 1023.75. This means that

1.25x + 2.5y = 1023.75 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 539 - y into equation 1, it becomes

1.25(539 - y) + 2.5y = 1023.75

683.75 - 1.25y + 2.5y = 1023.75

- 1.25y + 2.5y = 1023.75 - 683.75

1.25y = 350

y = 350/1.25 = 280

Substituting y = 280 into x = 539 - y , it becomes

x = 539 - 280 = 259

karen brought 3/8 of a gallon of ice tea to a party. Robin brought 15/16 of a gallon of ice tea to the same party. How much ice
Rudiy27

Answer:

1  5/16 gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

Gallon of ice brought by Karen = 3/8

Gallon of ice brought by Robin = 15/16

Total ice team brought by them is sum of Gallon of ice brought by Karen + Gallon of ice brought by Robin

Total ice team brought by Karen and Robin = 3/8 + 15/16

=>  3*2/8*2 + 15/16

we are multiplying with 2 both numerator and denominator in 3/8 so sas the denominator becomes 16 as in other fraction denominator is 16

=> 6/16 + 15/16

=> (6+15)/16 = 21/16

since 21/16 is improper fraction, converting it in mixed fraction we have

21/16 = 1  5/16 gallon

Thus , Karen and Robin have 1  5/16 gallon ice tea together.
