Answer:
um what I do is I go from like if I was doing 12 I would go 1 times 12 and then 2 times 6 and 3 times 4 and then I would stop cause it's repetitive if that makes sense
Step-by-step explanation:
1 km = 1000 m
(hence the term "kilo" which means 1000).
so. he runs 1000 m at the rate of 3 minutes per km, that means 3 minutes per 1000 m.
now, we can see the solution already with our eyes.
but let's do it formally :
the rate or ratio between time and distance must be the same for the same speed.
so,
3 min / 1000 m = x min / 500 m
500 m × 3 min / 1000 m = x min
1/2 × 3 min = x min
3/2 = 1.5 min = x min
so, it takes him 1.5 minutes (90 seconds) to run 500 m.
2 3/2 is not equal to any of these
x = # of balcony seats
y = # of orchestra seats
We have to create a system of equations to solve this problem
x + y = 256
$8x + $12y = $2,716
We will solve this system of equations by elimination.
Multiply the first equation by -8
-8x - 8y = -2048
8x + 12y = 2716
Let's add the equations together
0 + 4y = 668
Simplify the left side
4y = 668
Divide both sides by 4
y = 167
We can subtract 167 from 257 to get the number of balcony seats.
257 - 167 = 90 balcony seats
There are 167 orchestra seats and 90 balcony seats
