Answer:

x = number of nickels = 127

y = number of dimes = 156

z = number of quarters = 78

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of nickels

y = number of dimes

z = number of quarters

Total worth of the coins = $41.45

Total number of coins = 361

x + y + z = 361 (1)

dime = $0.1,

nickel = $0.05

quarter = $0.25

0.05x + 0.1y + 0.25z = 41.45 (2)

twice as many dimes as quarters.

y = 2z

Substitute y = 2z into (1) and (2)

x + 2z + z = 361

0.05x + 0.1(2z) + 0.25z = 41.45

x + 3z = 361

0.05x + 0.2z + 0.25z = 41.45

x + 3z = 361 (3)

0.05x + 0.45z = 41.45 (4)

Multiply (4) by 20

x + 3z = 361 (3)

x + 9z = 829 (5)

Subtract (3) from (5)

9z - 3z = 829 - 361

6z = 468

Divide both sides by 6

z = 468 / 6

= 78

z= 78

Recall,

y = 2z

= 2(78)

= 156

y = 156

Substitute the value of y and z into

x + y + z = 361

x + 156 + 78 = 361

x + 234 = 361

x = 361 - 234

= 127

x= 127

x = number of nickels = 127

y = number of dimes = 156

z = number of quarters = 78

It has long been reported that human body temperature follows a normal distribution with a mean of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Ther
Kay [80]

Solution :

The normal body temperature of any human body is considered to be 98.6$^\circ \ F$. But there is a constant debate about the body temperature of a long held standard to the body temperature.

It is given that :

Null hypothesis and alternate hypothesis :

$H_0 : \mu = 98.6$

And $H_A : \mu > 98.6$

n is given as = 180

Test statistics = 3.64

Prove = 0.018 < α = 0.05 (let reject null hypothesis for α = 0.05 )

Therefore, their results are statistically significant and the result is unlikely due to chance alone.

Solve for x.<br> A) -7<br> C) 6<br> B) 9<br> D) 10
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The segment BC  joining the midpoints of 2 sides of the triangle is

Half the length of the third side, that is

x + 31 = 2(x + 19)

x + 31 = 2x + 38 ( subtract x from both sides )

31 = x + 38 ( subtract 38 from both sides )

- 7 = x → A

Matt is cutting quilt squares measuring 3 inches on each side. He wants to use them to make a rectangular wall hanging measuring
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Matt will need 10176  square quilts to cover the wall

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this perfectly, we will have to first convert everything to the same unit.

dimensions of the quilt squares = 3 inches

Length of the wall = 1 yard = 36 inches

Breadth of the wall = 212 feet = 2544 inches.

The next step, is to find the area of the wall that Matt is covering.

Area of wall = length X breadth = 36 X 2544 = 91584in ^{2}

We will also find the area of the square quilts. This is given as length X length = 3^{2}=9 in^{2}

to get the number of square quilts that will cover that area, we will have to divide the area of the wall by the area of the quilts

= 91584 /9 = 10176 quilts

Matt will need 10176 quilts to cover the wall
