There are 7 dimes and 9 quarters Jayden has.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Worth of dimes and quarters = $2.95 = 2.95*100 = 295 cents

One dime = 10 cents

One quarter = 25 cents

Let,

x be the number of dimes

y be the number of quarters

According to given statement;

10x+25y=295       Eqn 1

y = x+2                  Eqn 2

Putting value of y from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

10x+25(x+2)=295\\10x+25x+50=295\\35x=295-50\\35x=245

Dividing both sides by 35

\frac{35x}{35}=\frac{245}{35}\\x=7

Putting x=7 in Eqn 2

y=7+2\\y=9

There are 7 dimes and 9 quarters Jayden has.

An engineer is trying to design a runway for an airport. He knows that airplanes have the ability to accelerate at 3.3 m/s ^ 2 a
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The proposed 1600 meters runway length is not long enough

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The amount by which a plane can accelerate = 3.3 m/s²

The time it takes for a plane to lift off the ground = 35 seconds

The length of the runway on the blueprint = 1,600 meters

Therefore, from the equation of motion for distance traveled, s, acceleration, a, and time taken, t, we have;

s = u·t + 1/2·a·t²

Where;

u = The initial velocity

t = 35 seconds

a = 3.3 m/s²

Given that all planes will start motion from rest, we have;

u = 0 m/s

Therefore;

s = 0 × 35 + 1/2 × 3.3 × 35² = 2021.25 meters

Which indicates that the length of the runway a plane would need for take off should be at least 2021.25 meters long, therefore, the blueprint's 1600 meters runway length is not long enough.

Question 2: show working out
kherson [118]
Answer in fraction form is exactly 2/27 
Answer in decimal form is approximately 0.07407

========================================================

Explanation:

4 people play both,9 play flat flute only, 12 play piano only.
So 4+9+12 = 13+12 = 25 people play one instrument only or they play both.

We have 27 people total meaning that 27-25 = 2 play neither instrument.

Divide the values 2 and 27 to get
2/27 = 0.07407
this value is approximate (rounded to five decimal places)
