Let’s make x = # of nickels. Then 3x = # of dimes and 3x+6 = # of pennies. A nickel is 5 cents, a dime is 10 cents and a penny is 1 cent.
The money she has should be .05(x) + .10(3x) + .01(3x+6) = 4.62 or to make it simpler: 5(x) + 10(3x) + 1(3x+6) = 462.
5x + 30x + 3x + 6 = 462
38x + 6 = 462
38x = 456
x = 12.
So she has 12 nickels (12 * $0.05 = $0.60), 36 dimes (36 * $0.10 = $3.60) and 42 pennies (42 * $0.01 = $0.42). $3.60 + $0.60 + $0.42 = $4.62.
Answer:
140 toy cars
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of Ed's toy car to Pete's toy car is initially given as 5:2
Ed gave Pete a total number of 30 cars
Let x represent the greatest common factor that exists between both number
Number of Ed's car is represented as 5x
Number of Pete car is represented as 2x
Since they each have an equal number of cars which is 30 then we can solve for x as follows
5x-30=2x+30
Collect the like terms
5x-2x= 30+30
3x= 60
Divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 3
3x/3=60/3
x=20
Ed's car is 5x, we substitute 20 for x
5(20)
= 100 cars
Pete car is 2x,we substitute 20 for x
2(20)
= 40 cars
Therefore, the total number of cars can be calculated as follows
= 100+40
= 140 toy cars
Hence they have 140 toy cars altogether
Answer:
128 ft / second.
Step-by-step explanation:
It's acceleration is due to gravity and is 32 ft s^-2.
To find the velocity when it hits the ground we use the equation of motion
v^2 = u^2 + 2gs where u = initial velocity, g = acceleration , s = distance.
v^2 = 0^2 + 2 * 32 * 256
v^2 = 16384
v = 128 ft s^-1.
