Answer:

Students purchased 1296 tickets and teachers purchased 482 tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let x be the number of tickets purchased by students and y be the number of tickets purchased by teachers.

Total tickets purchased = 1778

Thus, we can write the equation:

x+y = 1778

There are 150 students less than three times the number of teacher's tickets.

Thus, we can write the equation:

x = 3y - 150

Solving the two equations, we get,

3y-150 + y = 1778\\4y = 1928\\y = 482\\x = 3(482)-150=1296

Thus, students purchased 1296 tickets and teachers purchased 482 tickets.

Kryger [21]

Answer:

The correct answer will be:

-\dfrac{62}{23}

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that :

Initial temperature, T_1 = 0^\circ F

Final temperature,

T_2 = -15\dfrac{1}{2}^\circ F\\\Rightarrow T_2 = -\dfrac{15\times 2+1}{2} ^\circ F\\\Rightarrow T_2 = -\dfrac{31}{2} ^\circ F

Time taken :

5\dfrac{3}{4}\ hrs = \dfrac{5 \times 4+3}{4}\ hrs = \dfrac{23}{4}\ hrs

Change in temperature per hour:

\dfrac{\text{Difference of temperature}}{\text{Total Time Taken}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{T_2-T_1}{\text{Total Time Taken}}

Putting the values of temperatures and time:

\dfrac{\dfrac{-31}{2}-0}{\dfrac{23}{4}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{-31}{2}}{\dfrac{23}{4}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{-31 \times 4}{2 \times 23}} \text{---- Error done by Wen at this step}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{-31 \times 2}{23}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{-62}{23}}

The error done by Wen was during calculating the values of fraction.

So, the correct answer is :\frac{-62}{23}} instead of \frac{-713}{8}
