On every weekday morning, a theatre admits 20 adults and 40 children for a show. On every weekday afternoon, the theatre admits 30 adults and 30 children. This information can be represented by the matrix A=(20403030)A = \begin{pmatrix}20 & 40\\[4pt]30 & 30\end{pmatrix} where the columns are Adults and Children and the rows are Morning and Afternoon. On every weekend morning, the theatre admits 30 adults and 60 children for the show. On every weekend afternoon, the theatre admits 35 adults and 55 children.

Worked solution

23(a)

1. Place the weekend admissions into a matrix using the stated row and column order.

Columns: Adults, Children. Rows: Morning, Afternoon.

Weekend morning: 3030 adults and 6060 children.

Weekend afternoon: 3535 adults and 5555 children.

So
B=(30603555)B=\begin{pmatrix}30&60\\35&55\end{pmatrix}

Answer

B=(30603555)B=\begin{pmatrix}30&60\\35&55\end{pmatrix}
