Round 8 4/9 to the nearest whole number.

8

Step-by-step explanation:

8 4/9

We need to round the fraction to the nearest whole number

4/9   Divide 9 in half

   1/2 of 9 = 4.5

4 < 4.5   so we  do not round up

8 4/9  rounds to 8

there were 250 adult tickets sold.

explanation: write an equation for this problem.

x + (x + 62) = 562
keep in mind that x is the number of adult tickets, and (x + 62) is the number of student tickets.

now solve.

x + (x + 62) = 562.
2x + 62 = 562
2x = 562
x = 250
