Answer Choices:
A. $0.50
B. $1.00

D. $1.25

Respuesta :

Answer:

a 0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

40.25/7 = 5.75

31.50/6 = 5.25

5.75 -5.25=.50

The science museum is $.50 more expensive. To solve it first divide (for the science one) 7 by 7 and divide 40.25 by seven so 1= 5.75. Then (for the art one) divide 6 by 6 and 31.50 by 6 to have 1= 5.25 there for that is the one ratio of tickets making them easier to compare
