Answer: there are 8 quarters in the jar

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of nickels that is inside the jar.

The total number of coins inside the jar is 20.

Probability is expressed as

Number of possible or favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes.

The probability of selecting a nickel is 0.6. This is expressed as

0.6 = x/20

Cross multiplying, it becomes

x = 20 × 0.6

x = 12

Since there are 12 nickels inside the jar, then the number of quarters would be

20 - 12 = 8

James Wants to triple his vegetarian meatball recipe that uses 1 lb. 10 oz. of tofu how much tofu will he need in total
AVprozaik [17]
Answer: The tripled tofu is 4 lb. 14 oz. Explanation: So you first want to turn your mass into the same unit, so change the pounds of tofu into ounces. There are 16 ounces in a pound, which means the total mass of the original tofu could be written as (16 oz.) + 10 oz. = 26 oz. tofu. Multiply this by 3, and you have tripled the tofu. 3 * 26 = 78. To simplify it, divide 78 oz by 16 to find pounds, and leave the remainder in ounces. 78/16 = 4 lb. 14 oz tofu.

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The equation that represents the number of tickets that Josiah can buy with $45.50

3 + 8.50x = 45.50

The number of number of tickets that Josiah can buy with $45.50 is 5 ticketa

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of tickets be represented by x

Tickets are $8.50 plus he must play Fangalingo a $3 transaction fee for purchasing the tickets online.

The equation that represents the number of tickets that Josiah can buy with $45.50

$3 + $8.50 × x = $45.50

3 + 8.50x = 45.50

Solving further for x

3 + 8.50x = 45.50

8.50x = 45.50 - 3

8.50x = 42.50

x = 42.50/8.50

x = 5

Hence, the number of number of tickets that Josiah can buy with $45.50 is 5 ticketa
