16. Adults = $12

17. 750 ml

18. $9

19. 96 students

20. 5/6x

Step-by-step explanation:

16.

A child pays = $9

Bus fee = 1/3 of $9

= 1/3× 9

= $3

Admission fee for a child= amount paid - bus fee

= $9 - $3

= $6

What was the admission fee for adults, if children get in for haprice

Children = 1/2 of adults

$6 = 1/2 × adults

Adults = 6÷ 1/2

= $12

Adults = $12

17.

Leaking rate = 10 ml per minutes

One and quarter of an hour

1 hour = 60 minutes

Quarter of an hour = 15 minutes

Total time = 75 minutes

Air lost in 75 minutes = 10 ml × 75

= 750 ml

18. 4 glasses for $3

1 dozen of glasses = 12

12 glasses = $x

4 = 3

12 = x

Cross product

4*x = 3*12

4x = 36

x = 36 / 4

= 9

x = $9

19.

Total students = x

1/2x = soccer

Rugby = 1/2 of 1/2x

= 1/2 * 1/2x

= 1/4x

24 = 1/4x

x = 24÷1/4

= 24 × 4/1

x = 96 students

20.

Total petrol = x

Petrol in the tank = 1/2x

Petrol used = 1/3 of 1/2x

= 1/3 × 1/2x

= 1/6x

Petrol remaining after the trip = x - 1/6x

= 6x-x/6

= 5/6x

answer: 12

because yes
