1. You have the following information:
<span>
 - Maria has 8 1/2 quarts of soil.
 - Each pot requires 3/4 quart of soil.
</span>
 2. Keeping this on mind, you can convert the mixed number 8 1/2 and the fracion 3/4 to decimals, as below: 

 8 1/2=8.5 quarts
 3/4=0.75 quarts

 3. Therefore, you have:

 1 pot-----0.75 quarts
       x-----8.5 quarts

 x=(8.5x1)/0.75
 x=11 pots
<span>
 For how many pots does Maria have enough soil?
</span>
 The answer is: 11 pots

A bus driver pays all tolls, using only nickels and dimes, by throwing one coin at a time into the mechanical toll collector.
lutik1710 [3]

Answer: a) An = An-1 + An-2

b) 55ways

Step-by-step explanation:

a) a nickel is 5 cents and a dime is 10cent so a multiple of 5 cents is the possible way to pay the tolls in both choices.

Let An represents the number of possible ways the driver can pay a toll of 5n cents, so that

An = 5n cents

Case 1: Using a nickel for payment which is 5 cents, the number of ways given as;

An-1 = 5( n-1)

Case 2: using a dime which is two 5 cents, the number of ways is given as;

An-2 = 5(n-2)

Summing up the number of ways, we have

An = An-1 + An-2

From the relation,

If n= 0, Ao= 1

n =1, A1= 1

b) 45 cents paid in multiples of 5cents will give us 9 ways(A9)

From the relation, we have that

Ao = 1

A1 = 1

An =An-1 + An-2

Ao = 1

A1 = 1

A2 = A1+Ao = 1+1= 2

A3 = A2 + A1 = 3

A4 = A3+A2=5

A5=A4+A3=8

A6=A5+A4=13

A7 =A6+A5 = 21

A8= A7+A6= 34

A9= A8+A7= 55

So there are 55ways to pay 45cents.

Given : A inequality is given to us . The inequality is 19 ≥ t + 18 ≥ 11 .

To Find : The correct option between the given ones . To write the compound inequality with integers .

Solution : The given inequality to us is 19 ≥ t + 18 ≥ 11 . Let's simplify them seperately .

\red{\tt Case\:1}

⇒ 19 ≥ t + 18 .

⇒ t + 18 ≤ 19 .

⇒ t ≤ 19 - 18 .

⇒ t ≤ 1 = 1 ≥ t . ..................(i)

\red{\tt Case\:2}

⇒ t + 18 ≥ 11 .

⇒ t ≥ 11 - 18.

⇒ t ≥ -7 . ....................(ii)

<u>On</u><u> </u><u>combing</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>i</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>&</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>ii</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>.</u>

\Large\boxed{\green{\bf \red{\longmapsto} 1 \geqslant t \geqslant -7 }}

This means that t is less than or equal to 1 but greater than or equal to (-7) .
