Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The worth of a penny is 1 cent = 1/100 = $0.01

The worth of a nickel is 5 cents = 5/100 = $0.05

Let x represent the number of pennies that she could have. Lucy has some pennies and some nickels. She has a maximum of 15 coins. If lucky has 6.999999999999999, it means that

6.999999999999999 + x ≥ 15

x ≥ 15 - 6.999999999999999

x ≥ 8

If the 15 coins worth a minimum of $0.47combined, it means that

0.05(6.999999999999999) + 0.01x ≤ 0.47

0.35 + 0.01x ≤ 0.47

0.01x ≤ 0.47 - 0.35

0.01x ≤ 0.12

x ≤ 0.12/0.01

x ≤ 12

Therefore, the possible values for the number of pennies that she could have is 8 ≤ x ≤ 12

Helppppp pls im stuck on thi one problem :(
Ray Of Light [21]

First, find the simplified ratio of the given ratio:

Number of pirates: 22

Number of ships: 2

Divide 22 with 2 to find the ratio: 22/2 = 11

For every ship there is, there will be 11 pirates.

Now, find the ratio for the other questions:

IF there are 5 ships: 5 x 11 = 55

If there are 5 ships, there will be 55 pirates.

If there are 11 ships: 11 x 11 = 121

If there are 11 ships, there will be 121 pirates.

A hose is able to fill a pool in 17 hours. The drain in the bottom of the pool will drain a pool in 32 hours. If both
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

36hr 16min

Step-by-step explanation:

1pool/17hr - 1pool/32hr = 1 pool/xhr

1/17 - 1/32 = 1/x

Use common denomminator of 17*32 = 544

32/544 - 17/544 = 1/x

15/544 = 1/x

x = 544/15

x = 36 4/15 hr

x = 36hr 16min

How to solve 3(x+1)=5(x-2)+7
igor_vitrenko [27]
So first do 3(x+1) which is 3x+3 because you have to multiply the outside number by the stuff in side the parentheses. Then you do the 5(x-2)+7 and it should be 5x-10+7 so now your equation should be 3x+3=5x-10+7 now subtract the 3x from the 5x and now your equation should look like this: 3=2x-10+7. Then you add the 10 and the 7 so now your equation should look like this: 3=2x-3 because it's a -10 and a positive 7 it would be -3. So then you have to add the -3( which now becomes positive to the other 3 in front of the = sign. So now your equation should look like this: 6=2x. Now divide by 2 to get x by its self and now your answer should be 3=x or x=3.
