To find out how many tickets each person will get when sharing 22 ride tickets among 4 people, you need to divide the total number of tickets by the number of people.
\[ \text{Tickets per person} = \frac{22 \text{ tickets}}{4 \text{ people}} = 5.5 \]
Since each person cannot receive a fraction of a ticket in this context, we need to distribute whole tickets. Therefore, we calculate how many whole tickets can be given:
\[ \text{Whole tickets per person} = \lfloor 5.5 \rfloor = 5 \]
Now, we can calculate how many tickets will be distributed:
\[ \text{Total tickets distributed} = 5 \text{ tickets/person} \times 4 \text{ people} = 20 \text{ tickets} \]
To find out how many tickets are left over, we subtract the total distributed from the total tickets:
\[ \text{Leftover tickets} = 22 \text{ total tickets} - 20 \text{ tickets distributed} = 2 \text{ tickets} \]
Therefore, each person will get 5 tickets, and there will be 2 tickets left over.
