Question

Leonard had t tickets for the rides at a county fair. He kept 9 of the tickets and gave anequal number of the remaining tickets to 6 of his friends. There were no tickets left over.Which equation can be used to find f, the number of tickets Leonard gave to each of hisfriends?F f = + 96G ft +96H f =t.-96jf=t-96

Answer 1

Answer:

J. f=(t-9)/6

Explanation:

The number of tickets Leonardo had = t

• He kept 9 tickets, thus the number of tickets leftover = (t-9) tickets

,

• If he gave an equal number of the remaining tickets to 6 of his friends, each friend will get:

$\frac{t-9}{6}\text{ tickets}$

Therefore, the equation that can be used to find f, the number of tickets Leonard gave to each of his friends is:

$f=\frac{t-9}{6}$

The correct choice is J.
