Pieces of yarn .... 1/8 yard long (each)
a piece of yarn ... n = 3 yards long
remaining ... 1 1/4 yards = 5/4 yards
If you would like to calculate how many 1/8 yard pieces can Sarah cut and still have 1 1/4 yards left, you can do this using the following steps:
n - 1 1/4 = <span>3 - 1 1/4 </span>= 3 - 5/4 = 12/4 - 5/4 = 7/4 = 1 3/4 yards
7/4 / 1/8 = 7/4 * 8/1 = 14 pieces
Result: Sarah can cut 14 1/8 yard pieces and still have 1 1/4 yards left.
X= number of adult tickets
y=number of child tickets.
we can suggest this system of equations:
x+y=118 ⇒x=118-y
7.5x+3y=696
we can solve this system of equations by substitution method:
7.5(118-y)+3y=696
885-7.5y+3y=696
-4.5y=-189
y=-189/-4.5
y=42
x=118-y
x=118-42
x=76
Answer: the number of adult tickets sold was 76.
Answer:
Quadratic
If my answer is right give me a like
Ratio 5:4
Total shares = 5+4 = 9
then to find for 1 share = 54/9 = 6
So Sam share = 6 x 5 = 30
Bethan share = 6 x 4 = 24
Poof: 30+24 = 54
