Answer:

3 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to calculate as a ratio 9 nickels to 3 dimes reduced to lowest terms.

One nickel means $0.05 and one dime means $0.10.

So, 9 nickels is equal to $(0.05 × 9) = $0.45

And 3 dimes is equal to $(0.10 × 3) = $0.30

Therefore, the ratio will become 0.45 : 0.30 ≡ 3 : 2 (Answer)

A store owner paid $15 dollars for a book. she marked up the price of the book by 40% to determine it's selling price.

Tcecarenko [31]

A) $15 ÷ 40% =
15×.4= 6
15+6= 21

B) $38 × .25=9.5
38-9.5=28.50

28.50×.06=1.71
28.50+1.17=30.21

I think this is how you do it. would wait for other answers as well to double check.

It is 4 : 12 p.M. 4:12 p.M.4, colon, 12, start text, space, p, point, m, point, end text Emma's mom will be home from work in 70

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

40 Minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The current time = 4:12 p.M.

Emma's mom will be home from work in 70 minutes.

70 minutes = 1 hour 10 Minutes= 1: 10 Hours

$\left\begin{array}{ccccc}&4&:&12 &p.m.\\+&1&:&10&\\--&--&--&--&--\\&5&:&22&p.m\end{array}\right$

Therefore, Emma's Mom will get home by 5: 22 p.m.

Emma has gymnastics lessons at 6 : 00 p.M.

To determine how much time Emma will have between the time that her mom gets home from work and the beginning of gymnastics lessons, we simply subtract 5:22 from 6.

$\left\begin{array}{ccccc}&6&:&00 &p.m.\\-&5&:&22&\\--&--&--&--&--\\&00&:&40&\end{array}\right$
