Question

Heather's family bought tickets at a local carnival. Her brother took1/5 the number of tickets that her cousin took, which was half the number Heather took. If her brother took 10 tickets, how many tickets did Heather take?

10

25

50

100

Answer 1

B = (1/5)C

C = (1/2)H

So,

B = (1/5)(1/2)H

B = (1/10)H -> (10)B = H

(10)(10) = H = 100

can u help me with this Kyle drives 2 4/5 hours to visit his grandmother when he takes the new expressway, which has made his trip 1/3 as long as it used to be. How long did his trip take before the expressway was built?

12/15 hours

3 2/15 hours

8 2/5 hours

2 7/15 h ours

Answer 9

The new trip is 2 and 4/5 hours which is 2 hours and 48 minutes. Since this 1/3 of the original time, the original time is:

(2)(3) hours and (3)(48) minutes = 6 hours and 144 minutes or

8 hours and 24 minutes which is:

8 and 2/5 hours
