Question

A child’s ticket for the local ice rink is £3.60. An adult’s ticket costs £4.50 more. What is the price of a child’s ticket as a fraction of the price of an adult’s ticket?

1/5

4/9

5/9

4/5

Answer 1

£3.60/£4.50=4 x £0.90 /5 x £0.90

The £0.90 cancel eatchother out which leaves 4/5

250/625 = 10/25 = 2/5

Answer 2

Richg74 is right. The answer is 4/9.

The child's ticket is £3.60. The adult ticket is £3.60 + £4.50 = £8.10.

Both numbers are divisible by 9. 9x9 is 81, 4x9 is 36, so 4/9ths

Answer 3

A child's ticket = 3.6

An Adult's ticket = 3.6 + 4.5 = 8.1

The price of a child’s ticket as a fraction of the price of an adult’s ticket = 3.6 / 8.1 = 4.9 (that's it !)

as for the second question about equal opportunities :

Total employees = 625

Women = 250

Fraction magic = 250 / 625 = 2/5   > which makes [ two fifth ]

Answer 4

first answer         = 360/810 = 4/9

second answer    = 250/625 = 2/5

good luck

Answer 5

4/9th and the answer to the second question is 2/5th.

What people are missing is that an adult ticket in Q 1 is £4.50 MORE than a childs ticket making it £8.10 in total, which is 9/9ths and £3.60 is 4/9ths of this total.

Answer 6

4/5.  Easy Peasy!

Answer 7

first 5 answers are rubbish

answer is 4/9 for reason in answer 6

250/625=10/25=2/5

Answer 8

definately  4/5   answer to second question is 2/5

The easy way to do these is :- find a number that will divide into both . For Q1. divide by 9 , i.e 36 divided by 9 = 4 and 45 divided by 9 = 5 so the answer is 4/5 . For Q2 .divide both by 125 , so you have 250 divided by 125 = 2 and 625 divided by 125 = 5 , giving you the answer of 2/5 .

Anyone disagree ,if so ,why ?

Answer 9

It is 4/5.

Answer 10

A child's ticket costs £3.60

An adult's ticket costs £3.60 + £4.50 = £8.10

£3.60 divided by £8.10 = 3.60/8.10 = 4/9

Answer 11

3.60          x

------        ------

4.50        100

set your problem up like this and then cross multiply 3.60 x 100, which is 360.  so 4.50x=360.  divide both sides by 4.50 and you get 80.  x=80.  80/100, simplified, is 4/5.

Answer 12

The adult ticket will cost:

A = £ 3.60 + £ 4,50 = £ 8.10

So the child's ticket price as a fraction of the adult ticket price is:

£ 3.60 / £ 8.10 = 36 / 81 = 4/9

Answer 13

4/5th

Answer 14

1/3
