<span>N + D = 55 coins (1) (N stands for nickels, 5N + 10D = 390 cents (2) D stands for dimes) Simplify (2) by canceling the factor 5 in both sides: N + 2D = 78 (3) Subtract eq(1) from eq(3). You will get D = 78 - 55 = 23. Answer. 23 dimes and 55-23 = 32 nickels. Check. 23*10 + 32*5 = 390 cents</span>

A street sign is 104 inches tall. How tall is it in feet and inches.

ikadub [295]

Answer:

8 ft 8 in

Step-by-step explanation:

104/12 = 8.666...

This shows that there are 8 total feet because there are 12 inches in a foot

Then, multiply 8*12 to get 96 in order to get the remainder of the inches left that do not make up one whole foot.

Then subtract 96 from 104 (104-96) to get the remainder which is 8 inches.
