Brad have 19 quarters and 27 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total worth of nickels and quarters = $6.10 = 6.10*100 = 610 cents

One quarter = 25 cents

One nickel = 5 cents

Let,

x represent the number of quarters.

y represent the number of nickels.

According to given statement;

25x+5y=610 Eqn 1

y = x+8 Eqn 2

Putting value of y from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2

$25x+5(x+8)=610\\25x+5x+40=610\\30x=610-40\\30x=570$

Dividing both sides by 30

$\frac{30x}{30}=\frac{570}{30}\\x=19$

Putting x=19 in Eqn 2

$y=19+8\\y=27$

Brad have 19 quarters and 27 nickels.

Find 4/9 of 6:9 in simplest form

Yanka [14]

Answer:Change values to whole numbers.

Convert any mixed numbers to fractions.

Convert 3 1/8

3 1/8 = 25/8

We now have:

5 : 3 1/8 = 5 : 25/8

Convert the whole number 5 to a fraction with 1 in the denominator.

We then have:

5 : 3 1/8 = 5/1 : 25/8

Convert fractions to integers by eliminating the denominators.

Our two fractions have unlike denominators so we find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite our fractions as necessary with the common denominator

LCD(5/1, 25/8) = 8

We now have:

5 : 3 1/8 = 40/8 : 25/8

Our two fractions now have like denominators so we can multiply both by 8 to eliminate the denominators.

We then have:

5 : 3 1/8 = 40 : 25

Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).

The GCF of 40 and 25 is 5

Divide both terms by the GCF, 5:

40 ÷ 5 = 8

25 ÷ 5 = 5

The ratio 40 : 25 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 5 :

40 : 25 = 8 : 5

Therefore:

5 : 3 1/8 = 8 : 5

What is the difference between (Picture 1) and (picture 2)? A. 0 B. 2 C. 5 D. 6

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The difference between the picture is 0 , option A .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two figures as :

In figure A

The expression is 1 + 3 n , where n lies from 0 to 4

So , let f (n) = 1 + 3 n

Or,f ( n ) = 1 + 3 ×0 = 1 + 0 = 1

f ( 1 ) = 1 + 3 ×1 = 1+ 3 = 4

f ( 2 ) = 1 + 3 ×2 = 1+ 6 = 7

f ( 3 ) = 1 + 3 ×3 = 1+ 9 = 10

f ( 4 ) = 1 + 3 ×4 = 1+ 12 = 13

so, summation of ( 1 + 3 n ) from n = 0 to 4 = 1 + 4 + 7 + 10 + 13 = 35

In figure B

The expression is 3 i - 5 , where i lies from 2 to 6

So , let g (i) = 3 i - 5

Or,g ( 2 ) = 3 ×2 - 5 = 6 - 5 = 1

g ( 3 ) = 3 ×3 - 5 = 9 - 5 = 4

g ( 4 ) = 3 ×4 - 5 = 12 - 5 = 7

f ( 5 ) = 3 ×5 - 5 = 15 - 5 = 10

f ( 6 ) = 3 ×6 - 5 = 18 - 5 = 13

so, summation of ( 3 i - 5 ) from i = 2 to 6 = 1 + 4 + 7 + 10 + 13 = 35

So, The difference between the summation of functions f(n) - g(i) is

f(n) - g(i) = 35 - 35

I.e f(n) - g(i) = 0

Hence The difference between the picture is 0 , option A . Answer
