Hello!
3/4 = 0.75 as a decimal
We know that Jen picks 0.75 of a gallon of strawberries in half an hour, and now we want to find out how many gallons she'll pick in 2 hours.
Half an hour = 0.5
2 ÷ 0.5 = 4 There are four half hours in 2 hours.
0.75 × 4 = 3
ANSWER:
Jen will have picked 3 gallons of strawberries in 2 hours.
Answer:
29 and 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum: 29 + 17 = 46
Difference: 29 - 17 = 12
Answer:
27
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute x = 3 into the expression
2(3)² + 3(3) = 2(9) + 9 = 18 + 9 = 27
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.
