Using elimination method. Using substitution will cause some fraction problems.
c- child tickets
a- adult tickets
4a + 7c = $83
5a + 6c = $90
multiply by -5
-20a - 35c = -$415
20a + 24c = $360
-11c= -$55
c = $5 child tickets
4a + 7(5)= $83
4a + 35 = $83
4a = $48
a= $12 adult tickets
3/4…
To simplify a fraction, you have to find a similar factor between the numerator and denominator. In this case, it would be 4.
You would divide both numbers by this common factor and create a new fraction.
So… 9/3=3, and 12/3=4. When combined, the answer becomes 3/4.
So the 4ft mailbox’s shadow was six feet. That 2ft longer. According to my logic if the tree had a showdown of 36ft we subtract 2ft. The trees actual size is 34ft.
I might be wrong don’t hate me :(
1/15 miles because you’re basically multiplying the fractions i believe
