Answer:

720 pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially the Penny bank is 1/2 full

After removing 120 pennies it is 1/3 full;

Therefore. the fraction equivalent to 120 pennies is;

1/2 -1/3 = 1/6

Thus; Assuming the number of pennies that the penny bank can hold when full is x; then;

1/6 of x = 120

x = 120 × 6

   = 720 pennies

Hence, when the penny bank is full it can hold 720 pennies.

Answer:

720 pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between the  fraction originally contained  in the bank (1/2) and the fraction that remains  after Maria removes 120 pennies (1/3) represents the fraction occupied by the 120 pennies.

Therefore the fraction occupied by the 120 pennies= 1/2-1/3=1/6

thus if 1/6 of the bank can hold  120 pennies, then, when full it holds 120×6/1=720 pennies

How many solutions does the system have?
sertanlavr [38]
If a solution(s) exists y=y so we can say:

x^2-3x=-2x+2  add 2x to both sides

x^2-x=2  subtract 2 from both sides

x^2-x-2=0  factor

(x-2)(x+1)=0

So x=-1 and 2, using y=-2x+2 we find:

y(-1)=4 and y(2)=-2

So the two solutions occur at the points:

(-1,4) and (2,-2)

Answer:

Find the complete table in attached file.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the Incomplete table in attached file

Given:

A car travels 55 miles per hour for 2 hours.

So the speed of the car 55 miles per hour is constant for 2 hours.

Using speed  formula.

Speed=\frac{distance}{time}

Second row.

From the second row of the table time = \frac{1}{2}=0.5\ sec and speed is constant speed = 55\ mi/hr, so we need to find only distance.

Speed=\frac{distance}{time}

55=\frac{distance}{0.5}

distance = 55\times 0.5

distance = 27.5\ mi

Third row.

From the third row of the table time =1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2} = 1.5\ sec and speed is constant speed = 55\ mi/hr, so we need to find only distance.

Speed=\frac{distance}{time}

55=\frac{distance}{1.5}

distance = 55\times 1.5

distance = 82.5\ mi

Fourth row.

From the fourth row of the table distance =110\ miles and speed is constant speed = 55\ mi/hr, so we need to find time.

Speed=\frac{distance}{time}

time=\frac{distance}{speed}

time=\frac{110}{55}

time = 2\ sec

Therefore we complete the table from the above calculation.

A square has a perimeter of 52cm , what is the area ?
UNO [17]

✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧

                  Hello!

✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧

❖ The area is 169 square cm.

Find the value of each side (a square has 4 sides so divide by 4 ):

52/4 = 13

To find the area of a square, you only need 2 sides so multiply 2 sides:

13 x 13 = 139

Area = 139 square cm
