If there are 12 coins under the couch and every coin is either a nickel or a penny and together they are forming 32 cents then the equations which represent the problem will be x+y=12, 0.01x+0.05y=0.32. The correct option is B which is x+y=12, 0.01x+0.05y=0.32.

Given There are 12 coins and total money is 32 cents.

Let the number of pennies be x and the number of nickels be y.

According to question there are 12 coins so the first equation becomes:

x+y=12.

Then we have been told that together they amount to 32 cents.

We know that 1 penny is 1 cent coin and 1 nickel is 5 cent coin so the equation becomes :

1*x+5*x=32

x+5y=32

converting into dollar

0.01x+0.05y=0.32.

Hence the right equations showing the problem of nickel and pennies are x+y=12, 0.01x+0.05y=0.32.

An object has a potential energy of 14 J and a mass of 17 kg , how far above the ground is the object? An object moving with a s

victus00 [196]

1. Potential Energy = mgh

h = U_g / (mg) = 14 / (17 * 9.81) = 0.084 m above the ground.

2. Kinetic Energy = 1/2 mv^2

m = 2K_e / (v^2) = 2.45 kg

3. U_g = mgh = (1200)(9.81)(24) = 282528 J

4. U_g = mgh = (478)(9.81)(150) = 703377 J

5. U_g = mgh = (100)(9.81)(12.5) = 12262.5 J

6. h = U_g / (mg) = 14 / (17 * 9.81) = 0.084 m above the ground.

7. m = U_g / (gh) = 1500 / (9.81 * 35) = 4.37 kg

6 to power 8 / 6 to power of 6 equals what does the slash mean. How do I calculate

artcher [175]

Step-by-step explanation:

From your problem statement, I believe the equation will look like this:

$\frac{6^{8}}{6^{6}}$

The slash means "divided by" -- you should use division to solve this equation.

For division involving exponents with the same base, you can use the following rule:

$\frac{A^{x}}{A^{y}} = A^{x - y}$

Subtituting $6$ for $A$ , $8$ for $x$ and $6$ for $y$ , we get the following:

$\frac{6^{8}}{6^{6}} =6^{8 - 6} = 6^{2} = 36$

The school is planting a circular garden. If the

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The area of the circular garden is 28.3 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's recall that the area of a circle is π * r², therefore if the diameter of the circular garden is 6 feet, the area is:

Diameter = 6 feet ⇒ radius = (6/2) = 3 feet

Area of the circular garden = π * 3²

Area of the circular garden = 3.1416 * 9

Area of the circular garden = 28.2744

Area of the circular garden = 28.3 square feet
