rters. Gene has as many quarters as Ernest has half dollars, and each has 45 dimes. How many of each coin has each saved for the big day when $200 has been saved? Which of the following equations could represent the word problem if x is the number of half dollars that Gene has?a. 3x + 106 = 200
b. 125x + 916 = 20,000

Answer:

1. Ernest has $82.5 and Gene has $117.5

2. c) 125x + 1500 = $20000

Step-by-step explanation:

If we mark Gene's half dollars with x, then it is given that Ernest has 8 more, which is x+8.

It is also given that Ernest has no quarters, but Gene has them as many as Ernest has half dollars, which is x+8.

And it is given that they both have 45 dimes each, which is $4.5 each.

Now, let's add up all these numbers:

Ernest: (x+8)•0.5 + 0•0.25 + 4.5 = 0.5x + 8.5

Gene: x•0.5 + (x+8)•0.25 + 4.5 = 0.75x + 6.5

They collected $200 together which means:

0.5x + 8.5 + 0.75x + 6.5 = $200

1.25x + 15 = $200

If we want to avoid decimal number, we can multiply whole equation with 100:

125x + 1500 = $20000

so, the correct answer is C.

Finally, to find x:

125x = 18500

x = 148

Ernest had 0.5x + 8.5 which is $82.5

Gene had 0.75x + 6.5 which is $117.5

Derek has a white cube and a red cube.
cluponka [151]

Answer:

1/72

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of getting a 4 on white cube is:

P(W) · P(4) = 1/2 × 1/6 = 1/12

P(R) · P(>4) = 1/2 × 2/6 = 1/6

multiply both probabilities:  1/12 × 1/6 = 1/72

Sandy is working with a carpenter to frame a house. They are using 8 foot long boards but each board must be cut to be 7 feet, 1
quester [9]
The answer is 5/4 in

The initial length:
1 ft = 12 in
8 ft = 8 * 12 in
      = 96 in

The final length:
7 ft 10 3/4 in = 7 ft + 10 in + 3/4 in
                     = 7 * 12 in + 10 in + 3/4 in
                     = 84 in + 10 in + 3/4 in
                     = 94 in + 3/4 in

The cut if the initial length - final length:
96 in - 94 in - 3/4 in = 2 in - 3/4 in = 8/4 in - 3/4 in = 5/4 in
