Answer:
It is three.................
Let x = roller coaster ticket
let y = boat ride ticket
x + y = 10
4x + 3y = 37
x = 10 - y
4x + 3y = 37
4(10-y) + 3y = 37
40 - 4y + 3y = 37
-y = 37 - 40
-y = -3
y = -3/-1
y = 3
x = 10 - y
x = 10 - 3
x = 7
x = 7 ; y = 3
4x + 3y = 37
4(7) + 3(3) = 37
28 + 9 = 37
37 = 37
Answer:
16 pieces of spearmint gum
Step-by-step explanation:
For every five pieces of peppermint gum, there are 2 pieces of spearmint gum.
First, divide the total number of peppermint gum by 5:
40/5 = 8
Multiply this number by 2 (pieces of spearmint) to get the number of spearmint gum pieces:
8 x 2 = 16
Proof:
Ratio is 40 : 16, dividing this by 8 will reduce the ratio to 5:2
Quotient is the answer of the division
0.4/0.01 = 40 x 10 = 4/0.1 = 40 x 10 = 40/1 = 40
