Answer 1

First, we need to determine how many tickets Jae has left after using 39 tickets from the original 85 tickets.

Remaining tickets = Total tickets - Used tickets Remaining tickets = 85 - 39 = 46 tickets

Next, we know that each ride costs 8 tickets. To find out how many more rides Jae can go on, we divide the remaining tickets by the cost of each ride.

Number of more rides = Remaining tickets / Cost per ride Number of more rides = 46 / 8

Calculating the division: 46 ÷ 8 = 5.75

Since Jae can only go on a whole number of rides, we take the floor of that number:

Jae can go on 5 more rides.

So the answer is:

Jae can go on 5 more rides.
