D + q = 35....d = 35 - q
0.10d + 0.25q = 6.50

0.10(35 - q) + 0.25q = 6.50
3.50 - 0.10q + 0.25q = 6.50
-0.10q + 0.25q = 6.50 - 3.50
0.15q = 3
q = 3 / 0.15
q = 20 <=== 20 quarters

d + q = 35
d + 20 = 35
d = 35 - 20
d = 15 <=== 15 dimes

D=dimes, q=quarters
First equation: d+q=35
Second equation: 0.1d+0.25q=6.50
d+q=35 can be changed into the equation q=-d+35
Then, plug the first equation into the second equation. This is the method of substitution.
0.1d+0.25(-d+35)=6.50
0.1d-0.25d+8.75=6.50
-0.15d+8.75=6.50
           -8.75  -8.75
-0.15d=-2.25
/-0.15  /-0.15
d=15
There are 15 dimes. You can check this answer by plugging in 15 as d in the first equation. Then you would get 20 quarters. These two numbers satisfy both equations.

A student repeatedly measures the mass of an object using a mechanical balance and gets the following values: 560 g, 562 g, 556
MrRissso [65]

Answer: 2.76 g

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the standard deviation:-

\sigma=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum(x_i-\overline{x})^2}{n}}

The given data values : 560 g, 562 g, 556 g, 558 g, 560 g, 556 g, 559 g, 561 g, 565 g, 563 g.

Then,  \overline{x}=\dfrac{\sum_{i=1}^{10} x_i}{n}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \overline{x}=\dfrac{560+562+556+558+560+556+559+561+565+563}{10}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \overline{x}=\dfrac{5600}{10}=560

Now, \sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_i-\overline{x})^2=0^2+2^2+(-4)^2+(-2)^2+0^2+(-4)^2+(-1)^2+1^2+5^2+3^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ \sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_i-\overline{x})^2=76

Then, \sigma=\sqrt{\dfrac{76}{10}}=\sqrt{7.6}=2.76

Hence, the  standard deviation of his measurements = 2.76 g

Stels [109]

we know that

diameter of the base of a cylindrical can= 4 in----------> r=2 in

h=6.5 in

[surface area]=2*[pi*r²]+[2*pi*r*h]

then

[surface area]=2*[pi*2²]+[2*pi*2*6.5]=[ 25.13 ]+[ 81.68 ]=106.81 in²

the answer is 106.8 in²

1.John has a sink that is shaped like a half-sphere. The sink has a volume of 1072 in. One day, his sink
Vlad [161]

Answer:

\large\boxed{\large\boxed{85cups}}

Explanation:

<u>1. Volume of a cup</u>

The shape of the cup is a cylinder. The volume of a cylinder is:

       \text{Volume of a cylinder}=\pi \times (radius)^2\times height

The diameter fo the cup is half the diameter: 2in/2 = 1in.

Substitute radius = 1 in, and height = 4 in in the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

         \text{Volume of the cup}=\pi \times (1in)^2\times 4in\approx 12.57in^3

<u>2. Volume of the sink:</u>

The volume of the sink is 1072in³ (note the units is in³ and not in).

<u>3. Divide the volume of the sink by the volume of the cup.</u>

This gives the number of cups that contain a volume equal to the volume of the sink:

          \dfrac{1072in^3}{12.57in^3}=85.3cups\approx 85cups

A​ one-week study revealed that​ 60% of a warehouse​ store's customers are women and that​ 30% of women customers spend at least
qaws [65]

Answer: The probability of a randomly chosen customer to be a woman who spends at least $250 is 0.18 or 18%

Step-by-step explanation:

60% of the customers are women, and 30% of the women spend at least $250.

We want to find the probability for a randomly selected customer to be a woman that spends at least $250

first, the probability of a random customer to be a woman is 60% or 0.6 in decimal form.

And 30% of those 60% spend at least $250, so the probability the product of those two, this is:

P = 0.6*0.3 = 0.18

So the probability of a randomly chosen customer to be a woman who spends at least $250 is 0.18 or 18%
