Set up a proportion, by creating a ratio of students to adults and solve for the unknown quantity.

2/3 = s/490

Cross multiply, multiplying the numerator/top number in the first fraction/ratio by the denominator of the second fraction/ratio.

2 • 490 = 980

Then cross multiply again, multiplying the numerator/top number in the second fraction/ratio by the denominator/bottom number in the first fraction/ratio.

S • 3 = 3s

Then, solve for the variable (S), by dividing both sides of the equation by 3.

3s/3 = 980/3

S = 327

Because student tickets cost $2 each, divide the solution by 2 to get the amount of student tickets sold.

327/2 = 164

So, 164 student tickets were sold.

Assuming that no adult tickets were sold, the answer would be 245 tickets.

Mrs. Long just got a new puppy! The puppy is learning how to run on hard wood floors. The puppy is running at a rate if 4 feet p
Igoryamba

Answer:

Points apply to the given situation:

(a)The puppy will run into the wall after 5 seconds

(b)The slope is -4 ft per second since the puppy is running at a rate of 4 ft per second.

(c)The y-intercept is 20 ft because the puppy is 20 feet away from the wall.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given,

A puppy is running at a rate = 4 feet per second

A wall is 20 feet away from puppy. That means initially puppy is 20 feet away from the wall.

So, time taken by puppy to reach the wall =

i.e. time take by puppy to reach the wall =  = 5 seconds

 Now we write the points that apply to this situation:

(a)The puppy will run into the wall after 5 seconds

(b)The slope is -4 ft per second since the puppy is running at a rate of 4 ft per second. {Since the puppy is moving towards the wall that means horizontal distance is decreasing at a rate of -4 feet per second}

(c)The y-intercept is 20 ft because the puppy is 20 feet away from the wall.
