Answer:

3:4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To work this out we need to find the highest multiple of 45 and 60.

15 is the largest number that goes into both of them so what we are going to do now is divide both number by 15.

45 divided by 15 = 3

60 divided by 15 = 4

Therefore the odds of selecting a red candy is 3:4.

Hope that helps. x

on a certain hot Summer's Day 613 people use the public swimming pool the daily prices are $1.75 for children $2.25 for adults t
Elodia [21]

389 children and 224 adults were at the pool that day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one child ticket = $1.75

Cost of one adult ticket = $2.25

Total people = 613

Total receipts worth = $1184.75

Let,

Number of children = x

Number of adults = y

According to given statement;

x+y=613    Eqn 1

1.75x+2.25y=1184.75    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 1.75

1.75(x+y=613)\\1.75x+1.75y=1072.75\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(1.75x+2.25y)-(1.75x+1.75y)=1184.75-1072.75\\1.75x+2.25y-1.75x-1.75y=112.00\\0.50y=112.00

Dividing both sides by 0.50

\frac{0.50y}{0.50}=\frac{112.00}{0.50}\\y=224

Putting y=224 in Eqn 1

x+224=613\\x=613-224\\x=389\\

389 children and 224 adults were at the pool that day.

Andreyy89

Answer:

$205.73

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the square area,

multiply 10 by 4.5 and we get 45

we convert feet to meters by dividing it by 3.281

45/3.281=13.71533

we the multiply 13.71533 by 15 to get the total price

we get 205.72996 and round it to 205.72
