Answer:

2323

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the questions above, the report from the traffic jam says the traffics jam stretches for 5.5 miles

As Connor assumes that each car is about 12.5 long

The next step is to convert 5.5 miles into feet.

Since 1 mile = 5280

To convert 5.5 miles, 5.5 x 5280 = 29040 feet  

To find the numbers of cars struck in traffic, we will have to divide 29040 by 12.5

29040/12.5 = 2323.3 ≅ 2323

Joan needs to estimate the size of her bedroom so that she can buy enough paint to cover the walls. Two of the walls measure 2.8
labwork [276]

The total area of the room is 37.6376 and the no. of cans required to paint the wall is 3 cans.

The measurement of two of the walls is 2.86 metres and 3.16 metre

Area of the two walls = 2(length x breadth)

Area = 2(2.86 x 3.16) = 18.0752 m²

The measurement of the other two walls is 2.86 metres and 3.42 metres

Area of the two walls = 2(length × breadth)

Area = 2(2.86 × 3.42) = 19.5624 m²

Total area = 18.0752 + 19.5624 = 37.6376 m²

If one can of paint can cover 15 m², the no. of cans required to paint the bedroom will be

No. of cans = Total area/Area covered by one can of paint

No. of cans = 37.6376/15 = 2.5091 = 3 cans (approx.)

A cashier has 26 bills consisting of three times as many ones as fives, one less ten than fives, and the rest twenties. If the v
monitta
Let number of  fives = x then number of ones = 3x  and number of tens = x - 1

so we can create the equation 

x + 3x +  x-1 + y = 26  where y = number of twenties
so
5x + y = 27

also we have the equation 

5x + 3x + 10(x - 1) + 20y = 120

18x + 20y = 130..................................(1)
5x    + y    = 27     multiply  by -20:-
-100x - 20y = -540..............................(2)
Adding equation (1) and (2)
-82x = -410
x  = 5,  that is  5 fives

Now plug x = 5 into equation 1:-
18(5) + 20y = 130
20y =  40
y =  2 ,   that is 2 twenties

So the answer is   there are (3x) = 15 ones , 5  fives, 4 tens and 2 twenties
