To find the product of a reasonable estimate of two decimal numbers, round each decimals to the nearest whole number and then perform the multiplication.

For example:

3.2 x 5.7

Estimated answer

3.2 will be rounded down to 3 and 5.7 will be rounded up to 6

⇒ 3 x 6 = 18

Actual Answer

3.2 x 5.7

=18.24

there are nickels, dimes, and quarters in a piggy bank. altogether, the coins are worth $3.65. the number of dimes is three time
hoa [83]

This question is solved using a system of equations, and doing this, we get that: There are 9 quarters, 4 nickels and 12 dimes.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of nickels.

y is the number of dimes.

z is the number of quarters.

In all, they are worth $3.65.

A nickel is worth $0.05, a dime is worth $0.1 and a quarter is worth $0.25, so:

0.05x + 0.1y + 0.25z = 3.65

Dimes: 3 times greater than nickels:

This means that:

y = 3x

Quarters: One greater than double the number of nickels:

This means that:

z = 2x + 1

Value of x:

We have y and z as function of x, so we can replace into the equation and find the value of x, so:

0.05x + 0.1y + 0.25z = 3.65

0.05x + 0.1(3x) + 0.25(2x+1) = 3.65

0.05x + 0.3x + 0.5x + 0.25 = 3.65

0.85x = 3.4

x = \frac{3.4}{0.85}

x = 4

y and z:

y = 3x = 3(4) = 12

z = 2x + 1 = 2(4) + 1 = 9

There are 9 quarters, 4 nickels and 12 dimes.

In how many ways can 4 boys and 4 girls be arranged in a row such that no two boys and no two girls are next to each other?(A) 1
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

1152

Step-by-step explanation:

4 boys and 4 girls be arranged in a row such that no two boys and no two girls are next to each other.

Two boys and two girls are not next to each other. so one boy and one girl are next to each other in two ways.

BGBGBGBG, GBGBGBGB

4 boys are arranged in 4! ways and 4 girls are arranged in 4! ways

So number of ways = 2 \cdot 4! \cdot 4!=2 \cdot 24 \cdot 24=1152
