Answer:

24 quarters and 49 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation has two unknowns - the total number of nickels and the total number of quarters. Because we have two unknowns, we will write a system of equations with two equations using the two unknowns.

  • n+q=73 is an equation representing the total number of coins
  • 0.05n+0.25q=8.45 is an equation representing the total value in money based on the number of coin. 0.05 and 0.25 come from the value of a nickel and quarter individually.

We write the first equation in terms of q by subtracting it across the equal sign to get n=73-q. We now substitute this for n in the second equation.

0.05(73-q)+0.25q=8.45

3.65-0.05q+0.25q=8.45

3.65+0.20q=8.45

After simplifying, we subtract 3.65 across and divide by the coefficient of q.

0.20q=4.8

q=24

We now know of the 73 coins that 24 are quarters. To find the number of nickels, we subtract 24 from 73 and get 49 nickels.

Actual lengths of pregnancy terms for a particular species of mammal are nearly normally distributed about a mean pregnancy leng
HACTEHA [7]

Solution :

The data is normally distributed.

The standard deviation is 18 days

Here the data is normally distributed and 54 days is 3 days of standard deviation.

Therefore, the percentage of the births that would be \text{expected to occur} within the 54 days of the mean \text{pregnancy} length is given by :

= P( -3 < Z < 3)

= 0.9544

= 95 %

Therefore, about 95% of the births would be \text{expected to occur} within 54 days of the men \text{pregnancy} length.

What value should be added to the expression to create a perfect square?
Shalnov [3]
Let's take a look at a perfect square trinomial.

(x+7)^2

We can distribute this expression to get x^2+14x+49.

An important relation to recognize here is that the constant is the square of half of the x value.

Now, if we wanted to add a number to x^2+16x to make a perfect square trinomial, we could have the value of x and then square it.

Half of 16 is 8, and 8 squared is \boxed{64}
