25q + 10d = 425
q + d = 20
First thing's first, picture 4 quarters. Do you know how much these 4 quarters are worth? Obviously, you'd answer one dollar, but take the time to think about how exactly you came up with this answer.
"Well, it's simple," you might think, "Multiply 0.25 by 4."
Similar to this train of thought, the first equation is formulated by doing exactly that. 'q' represents an unknown number of quarters, and 'd' an unknown number of dimes. We use 25q and 10d, because, well, we're multiplying their value by the number of coins. They're equivalent to 425 because the 20 unknown coins make $4.25 (I converted it to cents to get rid of the pesky decimals, but if you want to keep it as dollars that works too).
Because the equation states that there are 20 coins in total, we know that we can make the equation 'q + d = 20' since there are 20 quarters and dimes in total.
Let me know if you need any further explanation :)

Answer:
616/2500
Step-by-step explanation: You first have to find the number of times a Blue marbles was chosen: 22
Then find the total number of marbles that were chosen. Make a fraction out of it: 22/50
You then see how many times tails was flipped: 28
Do the same thing again: 28/50
Then multiply the two fractions together:
22/50 * 28/50 = 616/2500
1,000,000 is million
to round look at hundred thousand place or 100,000
see number before million (after comma)
if it is greater than or equal to 5, add 1 to current value of million and say all after is 0
if less than 5 then leave million value as is and make after 0
135,458,267
hundred thousand value is 4
4<5
135,000,000
