Answer:

300 dimes and 120 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of dimes and y be the number of quarters Travis has. Travis has $60 (6000 cents) in dimes and quarters, then

10x+25y=6000.

If he could switch the numbers of dimes with the number of quarter, he would have y dimes and x quarters. In total this amount of money is $87 (8700 cents), then

10y+25x=8700.

Solve the system of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}10x+25y=6000\\ \\10y+25x=8700\end{array}\right.\Rightarrow \left\{\begin{array}{l}2x+5y=1200\\ \\2y+5x=1740\end{array}\right..

Multiply the 1st equation by 5, the 2nd equation by 2 and subtract them:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}10x+25y=6000\\ \\10x+4y=3480\end{array}\right.\Rightarrow 21y=2520,\ y=120.

Then

2x+5\cdot 120=1200,\\ \\2x=1200-600,\\ \\2x=600,\\ \\x=300.

Suppose you are asked to find the area of a rectangle that is 2.1-cm wide by 5.6-cm long. Your calculator answer would be 11.76
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

12 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of rectangle = 5.6 cm

Width of rectangle = 2.1 cm

Area of rectangle = Length of rectangle×Width of rectangle

⇒Area of rectangle = 5.6×2.1

⇒Area of rectangle = 11.76 cm²

11.76 has 4 significant figures in order to write this term in 2 significant terms we round of the term

The last digit in the decimal place is 6. Now, 6≥5 so we round the next digit to 8 we get

11.8

Now the last digit in the decimal place is 8. Now, 8≥5 so we round the next digit to 2 we get

12

∴ Hence the area of the rectangle when rounded to 2 significant figures is 12 cm²
