Answer:
I cannot not give the correct solution, need more context. How many children are there, how many adults are in the family? So I will explain in my explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
If more context were given, for example:<em> 2 adults and 2 children.</em>
Then the bakers would have bought 2 adult tickets for ___ each
Then the bakers would have bought 3 children's tickets for ___ each
So using what we know we can create an equation:
<em>2A+3C=28</em>,<em> </em>
meaning 2 adult tickets plus 3 children's tickets costs a total of $28.
So we divide 28 by 5, which is the total amount of tickets.
28/5=5.6
So to figure the cost of children's tickets multiply the cost by amount.
3*$5.6=$16.8, C=16.8
To figure out the cost of the adults tickets multiple the cost by the amount.
2*$5.6=$11.2, A=11.2
a) the bakers would have bought <u>2</u> adult tickets for <u>5.6</u> each.
b) the bakers would have bought <u>3</u> children's tickets for <u>5.6</u> each.
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
If two fractions have the same denominator, that means the total number of parts is the same. For example, you have two batches of cookies, which each have 8 cookies.
But the numerator tells you the number of parts you are dealing with. Going back to our cookie example, say you ate 3 cookies and your little brother only had 1. If you ate 3 cookies, you ate 3/8 of the cookies. Your little brother ate 1/8 of the cookies.
So, which one is the greatest fraction? In this case, who had more cookies? That would be you. So, the greater numerator means a greater fraction.
Answer: the fraction with the greater numerator
