Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

  • Kent has a collection of pennies and nickels with a value of 1.98$.
  • The number of pennies he has is five less than twice the number of nickels.  

1. Let p be the number of pennies

and n be the number of nickles

2. Then, p=2n-5

1 pennie=$0.01

1 nickle=$0.05

0.01p+0.05n=1.98

Multiplying both sides by 100,we get

p+5n=198

3. Putting p=2n-5 in p+5n=198,we get

2n-5+5n=198

7n=198+5

7n=203

n=29

Putting value of n in p=2n-5, we get

p=2×29-5

p= 58-5

p= 53

Hence, Number of pennies=53

and number of nickle=29

Find the area of the trapezoid by decomposing it into other shapes. A) 56 cm2 B) 60 cm2 C) 64 cm2 D) 72 cm2 Eli
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Option C. 64\ cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure N 1 to better understand the problem

we know that

The trapezoid can be decomposed into two right triangles and a rectangle

see the attached figure N 2

so

The area of the trapezoid is equal to the area of two right triangles and one rectangle

The area of trapezoid is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}(5)(4)+(12)(4)+\frac{1}{2}(3)(4)

A=10+48+6

A=64\ cm^2

1. What are the mean, median, mode and range of the data set givem the altitude of lakes in feet:
Aleonysh [2.5K]
First you have to put them in order from least to greatest. so....

-52, -36, -36, -27, -23, - 17, -9, -8

mean: add all the numbers and divide them by 8(the total amounts)
mean: -208/8
mean: -26

median: number in the middle of a series
*since there is an even amount of numbers you have to get the two numbers that are in the middle, add them, and then divide them by 2.
median: -27 + (-23)
median:-50/2
median: -25

mode: number that appears most often or is repeated
mode: -36

range: difference between the lowest and highest value
range: -52 - (-8)
range: -44

hope this helps and have a great day :)
