Question

Band members make 2/3 of their profit from selling concert tickets. They make 1/5 of their profit selling band merchandise. How many times more profit do they make from ticket sales than from merchandise sales?

Answer 1

the tickets make 3x more because first you have to convert fractions to the same denominator. So 2/3 goes to 10/15 and 1/5 goes to 3/15 so as you can see, the tickets make the times more
