Answer:
There are 42 quarters (and 6 dimes).
Step-by-step explanation:
The given ratio is 2:14. But this does not tell us how many dimes nor how many quarters we have. Instead, it's a ratio. Modify this by multiplying numerator and denominator by n and then find n:
Number of dimes 2n
----------------------------- = -----
Number of quarters 14n
Then the total number of coins is 2n + 14n =48, implying that:
16n = 48, or n = 3.
Then the number of dimes is 2(n) = 2(3) = 6, and that of quarters is 14(n) =
14(3) = 42.
There are 42 quarters (and 6 dimes). Notice how the total of 42 and 6 is 48.
If the term in the middle is 16x^2
6x^2-24x-16x^2-9x+1 =
-10x^2-33x+1
Answer:
1/26
Step-by-step explanation:
There is only one 6 of hearts and only one ace of diamonds.
The probability of selecting the 6 of hearts is thus 1/52, and that of selecting the ace of diamonds is also 1/52.
The probability of selecting the 6 of hearts or the ace of diamonds is the SUM of these two results: 1/52 + 1/52 = 2/52 = 1/26.
Answer:
- 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
turn 2/5 to have the same denominator as 10
2 ( 2 ) = 4
5 ( 2 ) = 10
4/10 - 9/10
= -5/10
simplify
-5/10 = -1/2
