Answer:

<em>1380 children and 820 adults went to the zoo that day</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

Define the following variables

x = number of children that went to the zoo

y = number of adults that went to the zoo

On a certain day,  2000 people went to the zoo, thus:

x + y = 2000

Solving for x:

x = 2000 - y        [1]

The admission ticket is $1.50 for children and $4.00 for adults and that same day, $5050 was collected, then:

1.50x + 4y = 5050       [2]

Substituting x from [1]:

1.50(2000 - y) + 4y = 5050

Operating:

3000 - 1.50y + 4y = 5050

3000 + 2.5y = 5050

Subtracting 3000

2.5y = 5050 - 3000 = 2050

Dividing by 2.5

y = 820

From [1]

x = 2200 - 820 = 1380

1380 children and 820 adults went to the zoo that day

Is 3/2 greater than 1? Or Less than
Simora [160]

Answer:

3/2 is greater than 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A little trick to immediately know if a number is more or less than when it involves fractions versus whole numbers is that improper fractions will always be greater than 1.

If you want to confirm this, dividing 3/2 equals 1.5, ergo 1.5 > 1.

In essence, improper fractions will always represent a number greater than one contrasted to proper fractions because if you put it on a perspective (let's say you have 13 pie slices but you only needed 12, that means there is a pie slice that's extra that makes it greater than the original pie slices).

Hope that helps :)
