Confused a bit, can you make sure you copy and pasted it right?
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:
x: number of quarters
y: number of nickels
We now write the system of equations:
x + y = 68
0.25x + 0.05y = 13.40
Solving the system we have:
x = 50
y = 18
Answer:
they have:
quarters = 50
nickels = 18
7-foot
EXPLANAT
Given:
14 foot tree
8foot shadow
4foot shadow
Let h be the height of a tee that casts a 4 foot long shadow.
Using proportion;
14 foot = 8 ft shadow
h = 4 ft shadow
Cross - multiply
8h = 56
Divide both-side by 8
h = 7 foot.
Hence, the tree is 7-foot.
