Answer: He has 6 dimes and 2 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

If D is the number of dimes and N the number of nickels, we have that:

He has 8 coins:

D + N = 8

He has $0.70 in total:

D*0.10 + N*0.05 = 0.70

Then we have two equations, now we need to isolate one variable in one of the equations and then replace it in the other, let's isolate D in the first equation:

D = 8 - N

Now we can replace it in the other equation:

(8 - N)*0.10 + N*0.05 =  0.70

0.80 - N*(0.10 - 0.05) = 0.70

-N*0.05 = 0.70 - 0.80 = -0.10

N = 0.10/0.05 = 2

D = 8 - N = 8 - 2 = 6

He has 6 dimes and 2 nickels.

Answer:

The number of nickels he has is 2 .

Step-by-step explanation:

A man has $0.70 consisting of dimes and nickels. He has 8 coin altogether . The number of nickel he has can be calculated below.

let

number of dimes = a

number of nickel = b

a + b = 8.........(i)

Total cost

1 dime = $0.1

1 nickel = $0.05

0.1a + 0.05b = 0.70.........(ii)

a + b = 8.........(i)

0.1a + 0.05b = 0.70.........(ii)

a = 8 - b

insert the value of a in equation(ii)

0.1(8 - b) + 0.05b = 0.70.........(ii)

0.8 - 0.1b + 0.05b = 0.70

0.80 - 0.70 = 0.1b - 0.05b

0.1 = 0.05b

divide both sides by 0.05

b = 0.1/0.05

b = 2

Insert the value of b in equation (i)

a + b = 8.........(i)

a + 2 = 8

a = 8 - 2

a = 6

The number of nickels he has is 2 .

The breadth of a rectangular garden is 2/3 of its legth. If its perimeter is 40cm, find its dimensions.
Arisa [49]

Answer:

12; 8

Step-by-step explanation:

length-x

breadth-2/3x

2(x+2/3 x)=40

2×5/3x=40

10/3x=40

x=40÷10/3

x=40×3/10

x=12 (cm) length

2/3×12=8 (cm) breadth

A manager recorded how many hours each of 11 cashiers worked in a week. Which interval contains the median number of hours worke
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

In descriptive statistics, the median is a measurement of center position. It separates the sample in halves. (bottom 50% from upper 50%)

The manager took a sample of 11 cashiers and recorded the worked hours in a week

To identify the median you have to calculate it's position:

The position is calculated as

PosMe= (n+1)/2= (11+1)/2= 6 cashier

This means that the Median of hours worked is a week observed corresponds to the 6th cashier (after ordering the data from lowest to highest)

If you observe the histogram, the x-axis corresponds to worked hours and the y-axis shows the number of workers.

The workers were already arranged from least hours worked to most hours worked.

The first interval corresponds to 0-10 worked hours and two workers recorded these working times.

The second interval corresponds to 10-20 worked hours and three workers recorded these working times.

In the third interval of 20-30 hours, no workers recorded these working times.

The fourth interval corresponds to 30 - 40 worked hours and 5 workers recorded these working times.

The fifth interval corresponds to 40 - 50 worked hours and only one worker recorded these working hours.

The first five workers were recorded in the first two intervals and the sixth worker was recorded in the fourth interval. So the interval that contains the median number of hours worked is "30 - 40 hours"

I hope this helps!
