Answer:
Two interpretations:
1. Ticket price for each student
2. Number of students
Quotient = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Total money to be paid for the tickets to the science museum = $180
To find:
Two interpretations, what does the expression [tex]\large 180\div15[/tex] represent ?
Solution:
The expression [tex]\large 180\div15[/tex] has two terms:
1st is 180, which is the amount of money to be paid for the tickets to the science museum.
As price of all the tickets is same, 15 might be one of the two things:
1. Total Number of candidates:
If 15 is the total number of candidates, then the expression [tex]\large 180\div15[/tex] represents the price of each ticket.
2. Price of each ticket:
If 15 is the price of each ticket, then the expression [tex]\large 180\div15[/tex] represents the Total number of candidates.
Now, let us find the quotient:
[tex]\large 180\div15=\bold{12}[/tex]
