<h3>Jason bought 20 stamps of $0.41 each and 8 postcards of $0.26 each.</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let stamps be s and postcards be p

Given that,

The number of stamps was 4 more than twice the number of postcards

s = 4 + 2p -------- eqn 1

Jason bought both 41-cent stamps and 26-cent postcards and spent $10.28

41 cent = $ 0.41

26 cent = $ 0.26

Therefore,

s \times 0.41 + p \times 0.26 = 10.28

0.41s + 0.26p = 10.28 --------- eqn 2

Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2

0.41(4 + 2p) + 0.26p = 10.28

1.64 + 0.82p + 0.26p = 10.28

1.08p = 10.28 - 1.64

1.08p = 8.64

Divide both sides by 1.08

p = 8

Substitute p = 8 in eqn 1

s = 4 + 2(8)

s = 4 + 16

s = 20

Thus Jason bought 20 stamps and 8 post cards

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The diameter will increase at a rate of 1/30π cm/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we want to calculate the rate at which the diameter will increase

Mathematically, the area of a sphere is given as;

A = 4πr^2

But r = d/2

so A = 4 * π * d/2 * d/2 = πd^2

dA/d(d) = 2πd

Thus dd/dA = 1/2πd = 1/2 * π * 15 = 1/30π

Given dA/dt = 10

Mathematically;

d(d)/dt = d(d)/dA * dA/dt

dd/dt = 1/30π * 10 = 10/30π = 1/3π cm/min

What's 1.176 rounded to the nearest hundreds
Step2247 [10]
The first number after the decimal point is the tenths place, making the next one (2nd) the hundredths.
We have to round to the hundredths, so we look at the next one over to the right. Because 6 is greater than or equal to 5, (greater than) we have to round up. That makes the 7 an 8, and the 6 disappears. So we get our final answer:
1.18
