Use algebra to set up 2 equations.
Assign c as number of tickets for CATS and w for number of tickets of WICKED
c + w = 2700
c / w = 7 / 11
Then solve for one of them in the first equation
c = 2700 - w
Then put this value for c into the 2nd equation
(2700 - w) / w = 7 / 11
Now cross multiply the numerator by denominator of both numerator and denominator pairs
7w = 11 x (2700 - w)
7w = 29700 - 11w
Now solve for w
7w = 26700 - 11w
Add +11w to both sides
18w = 29700
Now divide by 18 on both sides
w = 1650
Then c is the remainder of that ... 2700 - 1650 = 1050
You can also check because 7 / 11 = 1050 / 1650
Answer:
b) 10.0133 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
the most precise measurement will be the one with more exact values.
A) 10.013 ounces B) 10.0133 ounces C) 10.03 ounces D) 10.1 ounces
as you can see, D) was the most approximate as it only has one decimal place.
To find the most exact value, look for the value with more decimal places. In this case, it would be B) because it has 4 decimal places at the end to make the measurement more accurate
