Let the number of half dollars be x,
number of quarters = x + 2
amount of half dollars = 0.5x
amount of quarters = 0.25(x + 2)
= 0.25x + 0.5
total amount = 0.5x + 0.25x + 0.5
= 0.75x + 0.5
0.75x + 0.5 = 11.75
0.75x = 11.25
x = 15
number of quarters = x + 2
= 15 + 2
= 17
There are 17 quarters and 15 half dollars.
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
To begin, it is volume, not area
1. 8 x 12 x 17 = 1632 in ^3
5. 9 x 9 x 13.5 = 1093.5 in^3
If you want to find SURFACE AREA:
1. 2(8 x 12) + 2(8 x 17) + 2(17 x 12) = 872 in^2
5. 2(9 x 9) + 4(9 x 17) = 774 in^2
