9: 8 = 9+8 = 17

136/17 = 8

8 * 9 = 72 / 2 = 36

8*8 = 64 / 2 = 32

32 +32 + 36 + 36 = 136

the rectangle is 36 x 32

The correct answer is: [C]:  " $\frac{7}{18}$ " .
____________________________________________________
Explanation:
____________________________________________________
Given:
____________________________________________________

2 / (9x) = 4 / 7 ; solve for "x" ;
____________________________________________________

Cross-multiply:

→ (9x)*4 = 2 * 7 ;

  → 36x = 14 ;

Divide each side of the equation by "36" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;

→ 36x / 36 = 14 / 36 ;

x = 14/ 36 ;

  → x = 14/36 = (14÷2) / (36÷2) = 7/18 ;

The answer is: " $\frac{7}{18}$ " ;

→ which is: Answer choice: [C]: " $\frac{7}{18}$ " .

A collection of nickels and dimes is worth $9.45. If the number of dimes is doubled, the value is

eduard

Answer:

The number of nickels is 45 and the number of dimes is 72.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> number of nickels

y ----> number of dimes

Remember that

$1\ nickel=\$0.05$

$1\ dime=\$0.10$

so

$0.05x+0.10y=9.45$ ------> equation A

$0.05x+0.10(2y)=16.65$

$0.05x+0.20y=16.65$ ------> equation B

<em>Solve the system by substitution</em>

we have

$0.05x+0.10y=9.45$ ------> equation A

$0.05x+0.20y=16.65$ ------> equation B

Multiply both equations by 100 both sides

$5x+10y=945$ ----> $5x=945-10y$ --> equation C

$5x+20y=1,665$ ----> equation D

substitute equation C in equation D

$(945-10y)+20y=1,665$

solve for y

$945+10y=1,665$

$10y=1,665-945$

$10y=720$

$y=72\ dimes$

Find the value of x

$5x=945-10y$

$5x=945-10(72)$

$5x=225$

$x=45\ nickels$

<em>Alternative Method</em>

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

the solution is the point (45,72)

therefore

The number of nickels is 45 and the number of dimes is 72.
