Jimmy received 122 pennies more than Andre

Solution:

Given that , Sam, Jimmy, and Andre shared a number of pennies in the ratio 8:5:3

Sam and Andre received a total of 671 pennies.

Now, let the H.C.F of number of pennies with them be "x"

Then, number of pennies with Sam will be 8x

Number of pennies with Jimmy will be 5x

Number of pennies with Andre will be 3x

Now, we know that, Sam and Andre has a total of 671 pennies

$\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow \quad 8 x+3 x=671} \\\\ {\Rightarrow \quad 11 x=671} \\\\ {\Rightarrow \quad x=61}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { Then, Sam will have } 8 \times 61=488 \text { pennies, }} \\\\ {\text { Jimmy will have } 5 \times 61=305 \text { pennies, }} \\\\ {\text { Andre will have } 3 \times 61=183 \text { pennies. }}\end{array}$

Calculating how many more pennies Jimmy received than Andre:

Number of Pennies Jimmy received more than Andre = Pennies with jimmy - Pennies with Andre

= 305 – 183 = 122

Hence, jimmy has 122 pennies more than Andre

What is the is the unit rate for $2.50 for 5 ounces

borishaifa [10]

Unit rate the the price for one thing, so we'll have to find the price for one ounce.

$\frac{money(y)}{ounce(x)}$
Just follow it:
$\frac{2.50}{5} = .5$
It cost $.50 for one ounce.

Tell me if this helps!!

Compute the determinant using a cofactor expansion across the first row. Also compute the determinant by a cofactor expansion do

V125BC [204]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}3&0&3\\2 &3&3\\0 &4&-2\end{vmatrix}$

By cofactor expansion across the first row, we get

$\Delta=a_{11}C_{11}+a_{12}C_{12}+a_{13}C_{13}$

$\Delta=3\left[(-1)^{1+1}\begin{vmatrix}3&3\\4&-2\end{vmatrix}\right]+0\left[(-1)^{1+2}\begin{vmatrix}2&3\\0&-2\end{vmatrix}\right]+3\left[(-1)^{1+3}\begin{vmatrix}2&3\\0&4\end{vmatrix}\right]$

$\Delta=3\left[-18\right]+0\left[(-1)(-4)\right]+3\left[8\right]$

$\Delta=-54+0+24$

$\Delta=-30$

Therefore, the value of determinant is -30.

By cofactor expansion across the second column, we get

$\Delta=a_{12}C_{12}+a_{22}C_{22}+a_{32}C_{32}$

$\Delta=0\left[(-1)^{2+1}\begin{vmatrix}2&3\\0&-2\end{vmatrix}\right]+3\left[(-1)^{2+2}\begin{vmatrix}3&3\\0&-2\end{vmatrix}\right]+4\left[(-1)^{3+2}\begin{vmatrix}3&3\\2&3\end{vmatrix}\right]$
