Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Rina will need 6 tickets.

Explanation:

Rina needs only 1 ticket to ride the ferris wheel once, and 1 ticket to ride the bumper cars once. If she wants to ride the ferris wheel 5 times, then she'll need 5 tickets since 1 x 5 = 5. If she wants to ride the bumper cars only once, she'll only need 1 ticket since 1 x 1 = 1.

Add the answers together, and you get 6 tickets since 5 + 1 = 6.

Hope this helps! :)
