Answer:

Jenna had 25 quarters and 15 dimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Q = the number of quarters and D = the number of dimes.

Then:

1) Q+D = 40 "One week she had 40 coins, all of them dimes and quarters...."

2) 0.25Q+0.1D = $7.75 "...she had a total of $7.75."

Rewrite equation 1) as: D = 40-Q and substitute into equation 2).

2a) 0.25Q+0.1(40-Q) = 7.75 Simplify the left side.

 

2b) 0.25Q+4-0.1Q = $7.75 Subtract 4 from both sides.

2c) 0.25Q-0.1Q = 3.75 Combine the like-terms on the left side.

2d) 0.15Q = 7.75 Divide both sides by 0.15

2e) Q = 25 and:

D = 40-Q

D = 40-25

D = 15

Jenna had 25 quarters and 15 dimes.

Roxanne has 1/2 as many beads as Sherrie. The number of beads Sherrie has is 4/5 that of Ting Ting's. Ting Ting has 165 beads. H
gregori [183]
165 Ting Ting's beads* (4 Sherrie's beads/ 5 Ting Ting's beads)= 132 Sherrie's beads.
132 Sherrie's beads* (1 Roxanne's bead/ 2 Sherrie's beads)= 66 Roxanne's beads.
Now that we know the number of beads Roxanne and Ting Ting have, let's subtract:
165 beads- 66 beads= 99 beads.
Hope this would help :))

5. Michael wants to place grass on the sides of his
Elden [556K]

Area of the shaded region to be covered with grass is 204 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Area of the shaded region can be found by finding the total area and subtracting the area of the lap pool.

Total area = Area of the trapezium = 1/2 × (Sum of parallel sides) × distance between them

Sum of parallel sides = 25 yd + (3 + 12) = 40 yd

Distance between them = 12 yd

⇒ Total area = 1/2 × 40 × 12 = 240 yd²

  • Step 2: Find the area of the lap pool.

Area = length × width = 12 × 3 = 36 yd²

  • Step 3: Find the area of the shaded region

Area to be covered with grass = 240 - 36 = 204 yd²

Which is the best approximation for the value 140
zzz [600]
140 is a composite number. Factor pairs: 140 = 1 x 140, 2 x 70, 4 x 35, 5 x 28, 7 x 20, 10 x 14. Factors of 140: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 70, 140. Prime factorization: 140 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 7, which can also be written 140 = 2² x 5 x 7

Please help me fast and show all your work please thx ​
Kitty [74]

If the two diagonals are d and D, the are of the rhombus is

A=\dfrac{dD}{2}

So, in your case, the area is

A=\dfrac{15\cdot 35}{2}=262.5

The other options are wrong because:

  • option A doens't divide by 2, thus getting twice the area of the rhombus
  • option B summed the diagonals instead of multiplying them
  • option D took the difference of the diagonals.
