Question

A sixth-grade science club needs $180 to pay for the tickets to a science museum. All tickets cost the same amount.

What could 180/15 mean in this context? Describe two interpretations of the expression. Then, find the quotient and explain what it means in each interpretation.

Answer 1

Answer: $12

Step-by-step explanation: Since all the tickets cost the same amount, then 180 which is the dividend means the total amount of money needed by the sixth grade science club

15 is the divisor and it represents the total number of tickets needed

The quotient is $12

So the cost of one ticket is $12.
