The table below shows the numbers of tickets sold at a movie theater on Friday.

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Number of Adult's tickets sold on Saturday = 3,356

Number of Children's tickets sold on Saturday = 2, 928

Total number of tickets sold over these two days is 8,938.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the number of tickets sold on FRIDAY:

Adult Ticket sold = 1,678

Children's Tickets sold = 976

So, the total number of tickets sold on Friday

= Sum of ( Adult + Children's ) tickets = 1,678 + 976 = 2,654 .... (1)

The number of tickets sold on SATURDAY:

Adult Ticket sold = 2 times as many as the number of adult tickets sold

on Friday

= 1,678 x 2 = 3,356

Children's Tickets sold = 3 times as many as the number of children's

tickets sold on Friday.

= 976 x 3 = 2, 928

So, the total number of tickets sold on Saturday

= Sum of ( Adult + Children's ) tickets = 3,356 + 2,928 = 6, 284 .... (2)

Now, the total number of tickets booked in these two days :

Sum of tickets booked on (Friday + Saturday)

= 2,654 + 6, 284 = 8,938

Hence, total number of tickets sold over these two days is 8,938.

Mike can stitch 7 shirts in 42 hours. he can stitch 1 shirt in how many hours, and in 1 hour he can stitch how much of a shirt.

podryga [215]

Answer:

Mike can stitch one shirt in 6 hours and in 1 hour he can stitch $\frac{1}{6}$ (0.167) shirts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mike can stitch 7 shirts in 42 hours

to calculate the time that he takes to make 1 shirt, we have to divide 42 by 7.

He can stitch 1 shirt in = $\frac{42}{7}$ = 6 hours

Now we calculate the work done in one hour.

He can stitch in 1 hour = $\frac{1}{6}$ shirts or 0.167 shirts

Mike can stitch one shirt in 6 hours and in 1 hour he can stitch $\frac{1}{6}$ shirts.

Let x be the common factor between chickens and ducks. Then:
6x/(5x-63)=3/1
15x-189=6x

Write an equation for the graph, where y depends on x.

Over [174]

Answer:

y = -3x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of straight line is given by,

y = mx + b

m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept

From the graph attached,

m = $\frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}$

= $\frac{-6}{2}$

= -3

y intercept 'b' = 6

Therefore, equation of the line will be,

y = -3x + 6
