Answer 1

To fill in the table based on the information that each student receives 20 tickets, we can use the formula:

\[
\text{Number of tickets (t)} = \text{Number of students (s)} \times \text{Tickets per student}
\]

Given that each student receives 20 tickets, we can calculate the number of tickets for different numbers of students:

1. For 2 students:
\[
t = 2 \, \text{s} \times 20 \, \text{tickets per student} = 40 \, \text{tickets}
\]

2. For 4 students:
\[
t = 4 \, \text{s} \times 20 \, \text{tickets per student} = 80 \, \text{tickets}
\]

3. For 6 students:
\[
t = 6 \, \text{s} \times 20 \, \text{tickets per student} = 120 \, \text{tickets}
\]

4. For 8 students:
\[
t = 8 \, \text{s} \times 20 \, \text{tickets per student} = 160 \, \text{tickets}
\]

Now, let's fill in the table with the values:

| Number of students (s) | Number of tickets (t) | Tickets per student |
|------------------------|-----------------------|---------------------|
| 2 | 40 | 20 |
| 4 | 80 | 20 |
| 6 | 120 | 20 |
| 8 | 160 | 20 |

This table shows the total tickets based on the number of students who show their school IDs.
