Bess [88]3 years ago

Answer:

There are 42 quarters (and 6 dimes).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given ratio is 2:14.  But this does not tell us how many dimes nor how many quarters we have.  Instead, it's a ratio.  Modify this by multiplying numerator and denominator by n and then find n:

Number of dimes        2n

----------------------------- = -----

Number of quarters     14n

Then the total number of coins is 2n + 14n =48, implying that:

16n = 48, or n = 3.

Then the number of dimes is 2(n) = 2(3) = 6, and that of quarters is 14(n) =

14(3) = 42.

There are 42 quarters (and 6 dimes).  Notice how the total of 42 and 6 is 48.

uysha [10]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:   emma's amount be X .  justin has $7.50+x because he has $7.50 more than emma.Since emma has 7.50+x-$12.to get everyones amount add what they have together which is=$7.50+x+$7.50+x-12 which in total is $63.00.after the calculations you get x=30.now distribute the x equally. so justin has $7.50+30=37.50.we also distribute it with emma's which is 7.50+30-12=25.5.

justin=$37.50

Emma=$25.50

to be sure add 37.50+25.50=$63

The math department wants to sell pie slices to buy new math books. Each pie was cut into six slices. Two of the pies will be se
nadya68 [22]

b. 8 because Total Pieces Sold=60

Pieces contributed by the cafeteria=20

Pieces contributed by the clubs=x

We can solve this problem by creating an equation to relate these terms:

Total Pieces Sold= (pieces contributed by the cafeteria) + (pieces contributed by the clubs)

Our equation is therefore: 60=20+x. We solve for x:

60-20=x

40=x

This means the clubs contributed 40 pieces. To find out how many pies that equals, we can use the relationship:

(40 pieces)/(y pies) = (5 pieces)/(1 pie). Solve for y:

(1)(40)=(5)(x)

(40/5)=8
