In this problem, we have to find the factor which will
make (1 / 10) equal to (2 / 5). Therefore we can write it as:
x (1 / 10) = 2 / 5
where x is the number of people who ate the blueberries
x = (2 / 5) / (1 / 10)
x = 4
<span>Therefore 4 people ate the blueberries.</span>
(2x + 3y)4
Distribute
4*2x = 8x
4*3y = 12y
8x + 12y
Answer: 8x + 12y
Answer:
r^2=(A/pi)
Step-by-step explanation:
if A=pi*r^2 then maybe dividing by pi to get r^2 alone says r^2=(A/pi) or to get rid of the exponent you may square root each side so r=(sqrt(A/pi))
Let n = number of nickels, and p = number of pennies.
The number of coins is 25, so we get this equation.
n + p = 25
The value of the coins is 0.05 per nickel, and 0.01 per penny.
0.05n + 0.01p = 0.73
Now you have a system of equations.
n + p = 25
0.05n + 0.01p = 0.73
Solve the first equation for n:
n = 25 - p
Now substitute into the second equation.
0.05(25 - p) + 0.01p = 0.73
1.25 - 0.05p + 0.01p = 0.73
-0.04p = -0.52
p = 13
There were 13 pennies.
Now we substitute 13 for p in n + p = 25 to find out the number of nickels.
n + 13 = 25
n = 12
There are 13 pennies and 12 nickels.
Check: 13 pennies and 12 nickels does total 25 coins.
13 * 0.01 + 12 * 0.05 = 0.13 + 0.60 = 0.73
The value is $0.73.
Our answer is correct.
