Leah used $\frac{5}{8}$ yards of the felt bought for making banner.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Felt bought by Leah = $\frac{3}{4}$ yard

Felt used for banner = $\frac{5}{6}$ of the felt bought

Felt used = $\frac{5}{6}*\frac{3}{4}$

Felt used = $\frac{5}{8}$ yards

Leah used $\frac{5}{8}$ yards of the felt bought for making banner.

Given three points A(-7, 1), B(m, 6) and P(-1, n). If the point P divides AB internally in the ratio of 3: 2, find the values of

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

m = 3 , n = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Section Formula.

$If \ the \ line \ segment \ AB \ where \ A = (x _1, y_1) \ and \ B = (x_2, y_2) \ divided \ by \ P =(x , y) \ in \ the \ ratio \ a : b,\\\\Then \ the \ points \ of \ P \ \\\\x = \frac{ax_2 + bx_1}{a+b} \ and \ y = \frac{ay_2 + by_1}{a+b}$

$Here (x_1 , y_ 1 ) = ( -7 , 1 ) \ and \ (x_ 2 , y _ 2 ) = (m , 6)\\\\ratio\ a:b = 3 : 2\\\\Therefore, P (x, y) \\\\x = \frac{3m + (2\times -7)}{5} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ [ \ x = -1 \ ] \\\\-1 = \frac{3m - 14}{5}\\\\- 5 = 3m - 14\\\\-5 + 14 = 3m\\\\9 = 3m \\\\m = 3$

$y =\frac{3\times 6 + 2 \times 1}{5}\\\\n = \frac{18 + 2}{5} = \frac{20}{5} = 4$

Kevin and Randy Muiso have a jar containing 61 coins, all of which are either quarters or nickels. The total value of the coins

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

They have 45 quarters and 16 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of quarters and y be the number of nickels in the jar,

Since, the jar contains 61 coins,

⇒ x + y = 61 ------(1)

Also, 1 quart = $ 0.25 and 1 nickel = $ 0.05,

So, the total cost = ( 0.25x + 0.05y ) dollars,

According to the question,

0.25x + 0.05y = 12.05,

⇒ 25x + 5y = 1205 -----(2),

Equation (2) - 5 × Equation (1),

20x = 1205 - 305

20x = 900

⇒ x = 45,

From equation (1)m,

y = 61 - 45 = 16,

Hence, they have 45 quarters and 16 nickels.
