Answer:

90 Quarters

35 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Coins collected by Carl:

Quarters = $0.25

Dimes = $0.10

Total number of coins with Carl = 125

Total worth of coins = $26.00

Let number of quarters = q ; and dimes = d

0.25q + 0.10d = 26 - - - (1)

q + d = 125 - - - (2)

q = 125 - d

Substitute into (2)

0.25(125 - d) + 0.10d = 26

31.25 - 0.25d + 0.10d = 26

31.25 - 0.15d = 26

31.25 - 26 = 0.15d

5.25 = 0.15d

d = 5.25 / 0.15

d = 35

q = 125 - d

q = 125 - 35

q =. 90

90 Quarters

35 dimes

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Not all tiles will be used.

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

(a)

$5^{-3}=\frac{1}{125}$

(b)

$-5^{-3}=-\frac{1}{125}$

(c)

$(-5^{-3})^{-1}=-125$

(d)

$(-5^{-3})^{0}=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

$5^{-3}$

we can use property of exponent

$a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}$

we get

$5^{-3}=\frac{1}{5^3}$

$5^{-3}=\frac{1}{5\times 5\times 5}$

$5^{-3}=\frac{1}{125}$ ........Answer

(b)

$-5^{-3}$

we can use property of exponent

$a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}$

we get

$-5^{-3}=-\frac{1}{5^3}$

$-5^{-3}=-\frac{1}{5\times 5\times 5}$

$-5^{-3}=-\frac{1}{125}$ ........Answer

(c)

$(-5^{-3})^{-1}$

we can use property of exponent

$(a^{n})^m=a^{m\times n}$

we get

$(-5^{-3})^{-1}=(-5)^{-3\times -1}$

$(-5^{-3})^{-1}=(-5)^3$

$(-5^{-3})^{-1}=(-5)\times (-5)\times (-5)$

$(-5^{-3})^{-1}=-125$ ........Answer

(d)

$(-5^{-3})^{0}$

we can use property of exponent

$(a^{n})^m=a^{m\times n}$

we get

$(-5^{-3})^{0}=(-5)^{-3\times 0}$

$(-5^{-3})^{-1}=(-5)^0$

we can use property

$a^0=1$

$(-5^{-3})^{0}=1$ ........Answer

Five times the sum of 173 and 32

Sladkaya [172]

173+32=205 , so 205 times 5 would equal 1,025 . so the answer would be 1,025 .
