Answer:

9 quarters and 7 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

1 quarter = $0.25

1 dime = $0.10

9 (0.25) = $2.25

7 (0.10) = $0.70

2.25 + 0.70 = $2.95

the length of one leg of a right triangle is 6 feet. the length of the hypotenuse is 2 ft longer than the other leg. Find the le
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The missing leg is 8 feet and the hypotenuse is 10 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem which is A²+B²=C².

So we know the first side is 6 so plug that into the equation which would now be 6²+B²=C².

Because the hypotenuse is 2 feet longer than the missing leg we can plug in C=B+2 which would now make it 6²+B²=(B+2)².

Now we solve what we have so far which would now make the equation 36+B²=B²+4B+ 4.

Now we can figure out that 4B=32.

Now isolate the variable, B, by divide both side of 4B=32 by 4.

This gives us B=8.

So the other side is 8 feet.

Since we know that the hypotenuse is 2 feet longer than the leg we just add 2 feet to the original 8 feet to find the hypotenuse to be 10 feet.

Keiko, Chang, and Abdul sent a total of 109 text messages over their cell phones during the weekend. Keiko sent 7 fewer messages
lbvjy [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • Keiko: 17
  • Chang: 24
  • Abdul: 68

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of messages sent by Chang. Then Keiko sent (c-7) messages, and Abdul sent 4(c-7) messages. The total number sent was ...

  c + (c -7) +4(c -7) = 109

  6c -35 = 109 . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  6c = 144 . . . . . . . . . . . add 35

  c = 24 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6

  c-7 = 17

  4(c-7) = 68

Keiko sent 17, Chang sent 24, and Abdul sent 68 text messages.

One-fourth of a number is five-eights. Find the number. Simplify your answer
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

2.50 or 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4=.25 so 25% of a number=5/8=0.625

So we multiply .625*4 to get the number. Since it's 25% and we want 100% to get it back to the original number

.625*4=2.50 or 2.5
