Answer:

3+d=q and 0.10d+0.25q=1.80

There are 3 dimes and 6 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation has two unknowns - the total number of dimes and the total number of quarters. Because we have two unknowns, we will write a system of equations with two equations using the two unknowns.  

We know there are three more quarters than dimes. We write that as 3+d=q.

We also know the total cost and the value of each coin. We write 0.10d+0.25q=1.80.

We substitute 3+d for q in the second equation.

0.10d+0.25(3+d)=1.80

0.10d+0.75+0.25d=1.80

0.35d+0.75=1.80

We isolate the variable by subtracting 0.75 across the equal sign and then dividing by the coefficient of d.

0.35d=1.05

d=3

There are 3 dimes.

If the third term in a geometric sequence is 20, and the fifth term in the
Gwar [14]

Answer: A) 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

If the third term is 20, it means that

T3 = 20 = ar^(3 - 1)

20 = ar²- - - - - - - - - - 1

If the third term is 20, it means that

T5 = 5 = ar^(5 - 1)

5 = ar⁴- - - - - - - - - - 2

Dividing equation 2 by equation 1, it becomes

5/20 = r⁴/r²

1/4 = r^(4 - 2)

(1/2)² = r²

r = 1/2

beks73 [17]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take the number of songs he download = x

So $1.29x = $20

So "x" = 20/4.29 = 15.5

So songs he can purchase = 15 songs

A car is traveling at a steady speed. It travels 1 and one half
OLga [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5 mi = 2 and 1/4 min

In 43 minutes:

43 ÷ 2.15 = 20             2.15 = 2 and 1/4 min

Now you have to multiply 1.5 by 20

1.5 x 20 = 30

In 1 hour (60 minutes):

60 ÷ 2.15 = 27.9

Now you have to multiply 1.5 by 27.9

1.5 x 27.9 = 41.85

Hope this was helpful :)
