Answer:

a) 2a + 3c = $44.50

     a + 2c + $25.50

b) $19

Step-by-step explanation:

Simultaneous equations. A = adult. C = children

2a + 3c = $44.50 (EQUATION 1)

a + 2c = $25.50 (EQUATION 2)

Now solve this using the method of elimination:

2a + 3c = $44.50 (EQUATION 1)

a + 2c = $25.50 (EQUATION 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 2 so that both equations have the same a coefficient.

2a + 4c = $51 (NEW EQUATION 2)

Now subtract equation 1 from equation 2:

2a - 2a + 4c - 3c = $51 - $44.50 (2a cancels out)

c = $6.50

Now substitute c into one of the equation, in this case, I'm using original equation 2.

a + 2($6.50) = $25.50

a + $13 = $25.50

a = $12.50

Total cost of one adult and child = $6.50 + $12.50

                                                       = $19

this is the answer because 2/3 out of 12 bloomed. 2/3 of 12 is 8. So 8 flowers bloomed. 1/2 of those were pink and 1/2 of 8 is 4. In conclusion, the answer is 4.

Write 5/10 in three equivalent forms
krek1111 [17]

equivalent fractions are fractions which have the same value.

equivalent fractions all have the same simplified form

we can write equivalent fractions by multiplying both numerator and denominator by the same number. We can also write equivalent fractions by dividing both numerator and denominator by the same number

so 5/10

we can get the equivalent fractions by multiplying by a common number

when we multiply by 2

\frac{5}{10}* 2= \frac{5*2}{10*2} = \frac{10}{20}

when we multiply by 3

\frac{5}{10}* 3 = \frac{5*3}{10*3} = \frac{15}{30}

when we multiply by 4

\frac{5}{10} *4 = \frac{5*4}{10*4}  = \frac{20}{40}

the three equivalent fractions are

10/20 , 15/30, 20/40
