other student. Each student also gets the
same number of brownies as every other
student.
Each student will get — tickets and _
brownies.

Answer 1

Answer:

Each students will get 3 tickets and 2 brownies  .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total number of tickets issued for the school dance = 64

The number of brownies ordered for refreshment table = 96

Let the number of tickets given to each student = x

And The number of brownie given to each student = y

Now,

According to question

The tickets and brownies is distributed equally among students

So , Now, consider the tickets and brownies = n

Or, $\dfrac{n}{64}$ - $\dfrac{n}{96}$ = 1

Or, Taking LCM we get

$\dfrac{3 n - 2 n}{192}$ = 1

Or, $\dfrac{n}{192}$ = 1

∴ n = 192

Now,

The number of tickets given to each student = x = $\dfrac{192}{64}$

I.e x = 3

And The number of brownie given to each student = y =  $\dfrac{192}{96}$

I.e y = 2

Hence Each students will get 3 tickets and 2 brownies  . Answer
