Set up a proportion
75/100= 9 baskets/ x attempts
The ratio of numerator to denominator should be 75/100 which simplifies to 3/4. 3/4= 9/x
3*3=9, 4*3=12
x=12
Final answer: 12 attempts
Answer:
2 and 1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
1 and 2/3 = 5/3.
when dividing fractions, invert and multiply.
5/3x5/4=25/12
=2 and 1/12
Answer:
The results don't make sense
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve by means of a 2x2 system of equations, we have to:
"x" is the number of children's tickets
"y" is the number of adult tickets
Thus:
8 * x + 8.75 * y = 259
x + y = 35 => x = 35 - y
replacing we have:
8 * (35 - y) + 8.75 * y = 259
280 - 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259
- 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259 - 280
0.75 * y = -21
y = -21 / 0.75
y = -28
Thus:
x = 35 - (-28) = 63
With these results we notice that the problem has inconsistency, since the value of the tickets cannot be given a negative number, I recommend reviewing the problem, since the approach is correct.
Answer:
The anwser to your question would be negative 23 (-23)
