Question

Ben purchases 16

tickets at the fair. Each ride requires 2
tickets, and each food item requires 1
ticket.

If Ben uses 4
tickets for food items, what is the maximum number of rides he can go on if he uses all of his tickets

Answer 1

If Ben has 16 tickets total and uses 4 for food, he has 12 left for rides. If you divide that number by the amount each ride costs (2), Ben can ride 6 rides.
