The science club at the local high school went on a field trip to a museum in a movie they paid $170 for 40 tickets to the space museum and $180 for 45 tickets to the movies for which activity did the science club pay more per ticket how do you know A the movies because they paid the most money B the movies because the ratio for the moves is higher than the ratio for the space museum C The space museum because the ratio for the space museum is higher than the ratio for the movies D the movies because they sold more tickets

Answer 1

To determine which activity the science club paid more per ticket, we need to calculate the price per ticket for both the space museum and the movies.

1. Space Museum:

   • Total cost: $170
   • Total tickets: 40
   • Price per ticket for the space museum: \[ \frac{170}{40} = 4.25 \]
   • So, each ticket for the space museum costs $4.25.

2. Movies:

   • Total cost: $180
   • Total tickets: 45
   • Price per ticket for the movies: \[ \frac{180}{45} = 4.00 \]
   • So, each ticket for the movies costs $4.00.

Now we compare the two prices per ticket:

• Space Museum: $4.25
• Movies: $4.00

Since $4.25 (space museum) is greater than $4.00 (movies), the science club paid more per ticket for the space museum.

Therefore, the correct answer is: C. The space museum because the ratio for the space museum is higher than the ratio for the movies.
