Answer: the jar contains 29 dimes and 25 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The worth of a dime is 10 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes

10/100 = $0.1

The worth of a quarters is 25 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes

25/100 = $0.25

Let x represent the number of dimes contained in the jar.

Let y represent the number of quarters contained in the jar.

A jar containing only dimes and quarters contains a total of 54 coins.. This means that

x + y = 54

The value of all the coins in the jar is $9.15. This means that

0.1x + 0.25y = 9.15 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 54 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.1(54 - y) + 0.25y = 9.15

5.4 - 0.1y + 0.25y = 9.15

- 0.1y + 0.25y = 9.15 - 5.4

0.15y = 3.75

y = 3.75/0.15 = 25

x = 54 - y = 54 - 25

x = 29

What is the product of 4 x 2/3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

A good thing to understand is that when a whole number and a fraction are multiplied, the method is the same as multiplying 2 fractions. What that means is make the whole number into the numerator of a fraction and put a 1 where the denominator should be.

Solution

4/1 * 2/3 = 4*2 / 1 * 3 = 8/3

Why would |3-6| be 3 instead of -3?
Delicious77 [7]
Because you can have a negative inside the absolute value so even if it is inside the absolute value of -3 will come out as 3.

I) Construct a triangle PQR such that |PQ|=8cm,{RPQ=90°{PQR=30°.Measure |RQ|​
scoray [572]

Answer:

6.93 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a right triangle (90°), so you do as follow:

If I understand correctly, you are looking for the hypotenuse so

cos(30) = \frac{PQ}{QR} = \frac{8 cm}{QR}

That is equal to QR = cos(30)*8 cm = 6.928 cm
