Answer: A= -5
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this question, you need to know that a quarter is worth $0.25 and dimes worth $0.10. In this case, the total number of money that made from quarters and dimes is $2.80
With Q=quarter and D=dime, then the equation should be:
2.80= 0.25 Q + 0.10 D
The condition that needs to be fulfilled in this case is that the quarter should be 8 more than dimes. Then you need to find out the highest possible number of the quarter and lowest possible number of the dimes.
If you divide 2.8 with 0.25 you will found it will be 11.2 but 11 quarter will result with 0.05 value which you cannot remove, so the highest possible of the quarter should be 10.
If the highest possible of the quarter is 10, then the lowest possible of dimes should be:
2.8= 0.25(10) + 0.10D
0.10D= 0.3
D=3
Since 10-3 is 7, then it is not possible for the quarter to be 8 more than the dimes.
Answer:
32.55
Step-by-step explanation:
Half Tens is a way of multiplying where we have to find the value of given numbers. First we double any 'one' of the two given numbers and multiply both to get an answer. Then we divide that answer by '2' to get the answer.
Lets take two numbers as 16 and 340

Double the number 16

Now we will divide this by 2

So, if we check
, it is 5440.
Similarly if we double the number 340, we get 680
Now, 
And 10880/2 = 5440
Hence, in both ways the answer is 5440.
The easiest way to do it is to make the numbers into decimals. All you need to do is divide them.
To convert 3/4 into a decimal just divide 3 by 4.
3 / 4 = .75
To get 5 1/2 into a decimal just ignore the 5 for now and divide the 1 by 2.
1 / 2 = .5
Now add the 5 back on and you have 5.5
So far you have converted the equation from (3/4) / 5 1/2 to .75 / 5.5
Now just divide .75 by 5.5
.75 / 5.5 = 1.136 with the 36 repeated
