This problem can be solved by the chicken rabbits method or you can just do simple algebra.
I.) Chicken and rabbits method
First assume all 110 coins are dimes and none are quarters.
We will have a total value of 11 dollars
Now for each dime we switch out for a quarter, we adds 15 cents to the total value.
18.50-11=7.50 dollars
There are 750/15=50 group of 15 cents in the 7 dollars and 50 cents.
This also meant that we need to switch out 50 dimes for 50 quarters.
So we have 50 quarters.
That first method is very good and very quick once you get the hang of it, now I'm going to show you the algebraic way to solve this.
Let's say there are x dimes and y quarters.
Set up equation
x+y=110
10x+25y=1850
Now solve multiply first equation by 10
10x+10y=1100
subtract
15y=750
y=50
Now we set the numbers of quarters to y so the answer is 50 quarters.
I personally recommend using algebra whenever you can because the practice is very important and you will eventually get really fast at setting up and solving equations. The first method is faster in this case but the second is more generalize, hope it helps.
Answer:
There are 56 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
32/4 =8
7 x 8= 56
Do 9:00 A.M. minus 26 minutes and your awnser is 8:34 A.M.
Answer:
a = 8
b = 4√5
Step-by-step explanation:
Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.
short side/long side = a/16 = 4/a
a² = 64 . . . . . . multiply by 16a
a = 8 . . . . . . take the square root
__
hypotenuse/short side = b/4 = 20/b
b² = 80 . . . . . . . multiply by 4b
b = 4√5 . . . . . take the square root
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
These relations for the right triangle can be summarized by the rule "the length of a segment that touches the hypotenuse is the geometric mean of the two hypotenuse segments it touches." In the case of b, that means ...
b = √((4)(4+16)) = 4√5
The same sort of relation applies to the unmarked vertical segment on the left:
c = √((16)(16+4)) = 8√5
And, we saw ...
a = √((4)(16)) = 8
Of course, if this rule is to make sense, you need to know that the geometric mean of two numbers is the square root of their product. (In general, the geometric mean of n numbers is the n-th root of their product.)
12 - 15 ÷ 3 + 9
Following BODMAS = Bracket Order Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction
Division comes before Addition and Subtraction, so we carry out Division first.
12 - 15 ÷ 3 + 9, 15 ÷ 3 = 5
12 - 5 + 9
7 + 9
16
I hope you find this explanation useful.
