Answer:

the number of 50sen coins:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the number of 50sen coins as x

50(x)

∴ the number of 20sen coins is 20-x (as total no. of coins are 20)

20(20-x)

total amount = 6.10RM = 610sen

equating:

50x + 20(20-x) = 610

50x + 400-20x = 610

50x - 20x = 610-400

30x = 210

x = 210/30 = 7

Therefore, the number of 50sen coins is 7

20sen coins is 20-7= 13.

verification=

50*7 + 20*13 = 610

310 + 260 = 610

610sen = 610sen

6.10RM = 6.10RM

L.H.S = R.H.S

hence, verified.

Answer:

Number of 50sen coins = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of 50sen coins be = x

Let the number of 20sen coins be = y

Total coins = 20

x + y = 20 ----------------------(i)

Value of 50sen coins = 0.50*x = 0.50x

Value of 20sen coins = 0.20 *y = 0.20y

Total value = RM 6.10

0.5x + 0.2y = 6.10 -------------------(ii)

Multiply (i) by (-0.5) and then add the equations. So, x will be eliminated and we can find the value of y

(i) * (-0.5) -0.5x - 0.5y = -10

(ii) <u>0.5x + 0.2y = 6.10</u><u> </u> { add and now x will be eliminated}

- 0.3y = -3.90

Divide both sides by (-0.3)

y = -3.90/-0.3

y = 13

Plug in the value of y in equation (i)

x + 13 = 20

Subtract 13 from both sides

x = 20 -13

x = 7

Number of 50sen coins = 13

If y varies inversely as x and y=40 when x=5, then the constant is

mihalych1998 [28]

The constant is 200.

Further explanation:

An inverse propertion states that if one quantity increases the other decreases and vice versa.

It can also be written as:

if y varies inversely with x

then

y∝1/x

y=k/x

When the proportionality symbol is removed, a proportionality constant is introduced

Given

y=40

x=5

Putting in equation

$40=\frac{k}{5}\\k=40*5\\k=200$

The constant is 200.

Given a container that is 4.50 ft. by 7.20 ft. that is filled with water 5.00 inches deep.What is the volume of water in liters

elena55 [62]

Answer:

382.3 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that:

A container that is 4.50 ft. by 7.20 ft. that is filled with water 5.00 inches deep.

This means:

Length = 4.50 ft

Width = 7.20 ft

Depth(Height) = 5.00 inches

We have to convert all of these to centimeters first. Then to liters

1 foot = 30.48 centimetres

1 inch = 2.54 centimetres

Length = 4.50 ft

1 foot = 30.48 centimetres

4.5 ft = 4.5 × 30.48

= 137.16 cm

Width = 7.20 ft

1 foot = 30.48 centimetres

7.20 ft = 7.20 × 30.48 cm

= 219.456cm

Depth(Height) = 5.00 inches

1 inch = 2.54 centimetres

5 inches = x cm

Cross Multiply

= 5 × 2.54 cm

= 12.7 cm

The volume of the water(cm³) = Length × Width × Depth

= (137.16 × 219.456 × 12.7)cm³

382277.428992 cm³

The volume of water in liters

1 cubic centimetre = 0.001 litre

382277.428992 cm³ = x

Cross Multiply

382277.428992 cm³ × 0.001 litre

= 382.2774289920001 liters

Approximately = 382.3 liters
