<span>Given situation : 2 improper fraction is multiplied. Now is the product always more than than 1?
Yes, the product is always more than 1. Because take note that in improper fraction, the numerator is always higher compare to the denominator of the given fraction. That means when you divide the numerator from the denominator, the answer would always be more than 1.
Example:
=> 5 / 4 x 4 / 2
=> 20 / 8 or equals to 5/2
now divide
=> 5 / 2
=> 2 1/2

Using the given formula T = LS

And given the time is 3 minutes (3 x 60 = 180 seconds)and the speed is 4-1/2 inches per second:

180 = L x 4-1/2

Solve for L by dividing both sides by 4-1/2:

L = 180 / 4-1/2

L = 40

The length should be 40 inches.

Annette [7]

The price of one ticket is $ 62.2

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that a performer expects to sell 5000 tickets for an upcoming event

They want to make a total of $ 311, 000 in sales from these tickets

<em><u>To find: price of one ticket</u></em>

Let us assume that all tickets have the same price

Let "a" be the price of one ticket

So the total sales price of $ 311, 000 is obtained from product of 5000 tickets and price of one ticket

$\text {total sales price }=5000 \times \text { price of one ticket }$

$311000 = 5000 \times a\\\\a = \frac{311000}{5000}\\\\a = 62.2$

Thus the price of one ticket is $ 62.2
