Mathematics
1 answer:
Step2247 [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Answer:

Answer is: 32 nickels and 23 dimes.

x - number of nickels .

y -number of dimes.

two equations in two unknowns:

1) x + y = 55

2) 0,05x + 0,1y = 3,90.

nickel is a five-cent coin.

dime is a ten-cent coin.

solve equation 1) for x and substitute for x in equation 2)

x = 55 - y

0,05·(55 - y) + 0,1y = 3,902,75 - 0,05y + 0,1y = 3,90

0,05y = 1,15

y = 23.

x = 55 - 23 = 32.

Which of the following is an example of a matched pairs design? A. A teacher calculates the average scores of students on a pair
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

B. A teacher compares the pre-test and post-test scores of students

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is true, because it is a good example to compare the tests between students, we know that a matching pair design is a random model and is used when the experiment allows grouping subjects in pairs based on a variable and each pair will receive randomly a different handling, the answer A is not true because in the example all students are uniformly averaged and the variable is not correlated with subgroups, option c is incorrect because the variable was not randomized and generates classification bias and the option d is incorrect because the teacher compares a small sample as her class with a score of a total sample, but does not intervene on her students when selecting the corresponding group

Juan ran of a mile 2/5 every 4/7 of an hour. Find Juan’s rate in miles per hour
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Juan runs 7/10 of a mile every hour

Step-by-step explanation:

First find out how much he ran every 1/7 of an hour

2/5 x 1/4 = 4/7 x 1/4

1/10 = 1/7

1/10 x 7 = 1/7 x 7

7/10 = 1

The vertex of this parabola is at (-4, -1). When the y-value is 0, the x-value is 2. What is the coefficient of the squared term
Delicious77 [7]
Equation for parabola is
y = a ( x - h ) ^2 + k    where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola. 

Given:  vertex (-4, -1)  h = -4; k = -1

y = a (x - (-4))^2 + (-1)
y = a ( x + 4)^2 - 1  plug in the values given for x and y.  y-value is 0 and x-value is 2

0 = a (2 + 4)^2 -1
0 = a (6)^2 -1   square 6
0 = a 36 - 1    add 1 to both sides to isolate the a
1 = 36 a         divide both sides by 36 to isolate the a
1/36 = a         the coefficient. 

i think you might have typed a number incorrectly if those are your answer choices.  Maybe the step by step process can still help you with your correct numbers.  :-)
