X = number of dimes 
x + 2 = number of nickels
3(x + 2) = number of pennies 

10x + 5(x + 2) + 3(x + 2) = 52
10x + 5x + 10 + 3x + 6 = 52
18x = 36
x = 2

x = 2 (number of dimes)
x + 2 = 4 (number of nickels)
3(x + 2) = 12 (number of pennies)

Check:
2(10) = 20 cents in dimes
4(5) = 20 cents in nickels
12(1) = 12 cents in pennies
Total = 52 cents

He has d dimes.
He has 2 more nickles than dimes, so he has d + 2 nickles.
He has 3 times as many pennies as nickles. He has 3(d + 2) pennies.

Now we figure out the value of each type of coin in cents.
d dimes are worth 10d cents.
d + 2 nickels are worth 5(d + 2) cents.
3(d + 2) pennies are worth 3(d + 2) cents.

Add all expressions of value and set equal to 52 cents.

10d + 5(d + 2) + 3(d + 2) = 52

10d + 5d + 10 + 3d + 6 = 52

18d + 16 = 52

18d = 36

d = 2

He has 2 dimes.
He has 2 more nickles than dimes, so he has 2 + 2 nickles, or 4 nickles.
<span>He has three times as many pennies as nickels, or 3(4) = 12 pennies.

Answer: 2 dimes, 4 nickles, 12 pennies.

What is 0.4 as a simplified fraction
mestny [16]

Answer: 2/5

Step-by-step explanation: Using the place value chart, we can see that the decimal 0.4 is four tenths, so we can write 0.4 as the fraction 4/10.

Notice however that 4/10 is not in lowest terms so we need to divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 4 and 10 which is 2.

So if we divide the numerator and the denominator by 2, we get the equivalent fraction 2/5.

Therefore, 0.4 can be written as the fraction 2/5 which is in lowest terms.
