<h3>Answer: 4 pennies</h3>

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

Work Shown:

40 coins total

16 are dimes

40-16 = 24 coins are not dimes

Half of this is 24*(1/2) = 12 which are quarters. The other half (12) are pennies and nickels

n = number of nickels

p = number of pennies

This means n+p = 12 so that we have 12 pennies and nickels combined.

"There are 2 nickels for every penny", so we can write n = 2p. If p = 1, then n = 2. If p = 2, then n = 4, etc. Whatever p is, we double it to get n.

So,

n+p = 12

2p+p = 12

3p = 12

p = 12/3

p = 4, we have 4 pennies

n = 2p

n = 2*4

n = 8 and 8 nickels

-----------------------------------------

Here are all the coin counts

  • 16 dimes
  • 12 quarters
  • 8 nickels
  • 4 pennies

16+12+8+4 = 40 coins total

cylinder a has a radius of 2 inches and a height of 2 inches. cylinder b has a radius of 2 inches and a height of 4 inches. calc
Step2247 [10]
Surface area of cylinder = 2πrh + 2πr^2

SA for cylinder A = 2π x 2 x 2 + 2π x (2)^2 = 8π + 8π = 16π
SA for cylinder B = 2π x 2 x 4 + 2π x (2)^2 = 16π + 8π = 24π

Which is a solution to the equation?
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

-7 or 4

Step-by-step explanation:

use foil to get the quadratic equation:

x^2+5x-2x-10=18

x^2+3x-10=18

bring "18" to the left:

x^2+3x-10-18

x^2+3x-28

so what*what= -28

and

what+what=3

factors of -28: -7,4   -4,7   14,-2   -14,2    -28,1   -1,28

factors whose sum is 3: 7,-4

so substitute "7,-4" in place of 3:

x^2+7x-4x-28

2) split it in two groups

group 1) x^2+7x

group 2) -4x-28

x^2+7x has a GCF of "x"

x(x+7)

group 2) -4x-28 has a gcf of "-4"

-4(x+7)

3) (x-4) (x+7)=0

x-4=0

x=4

x+7=0

x=-7

x=4,-7

Hope this helps!

Mike put 304 baseballs into 8 trash bins. He put the same number of baseballs in each bin. He took 5 trash bins of baseballs to
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

190 Baseballs

Step-by-step explanation:

Since he put 304 baseballs into 8 trash cans with an equal amt. in each,

--> we do 304/8 to find how much baseballs we put in each

=> 304/8 = 38

Now, we takes 5 of these 38 trash cans filled with balls to the field

--> we would do <em>5 x 38 => 5 x 38 = 190</em>

and Thus, we have our answer of <u>190 baseballs</u>

Hope this helps!
