He had 5 more nickels then he originally thought...so he had 25 cents more then he thought he had......so if he had 4.35......he thought he had 4.35 - 0.25 = 4.10......which is 4.10 / 0.05 = 82 nickels

or this way....
4.35 / 0.05 = 87 nickels....what he had
and if he had 5 more nickels then he thought he had...then he thought he had 87 - 5 = 82 nickels

If a line contains the point (0, -1) and has a slope if 2, then which if the following points also lies on the line? (2, 1), (1,

Neko [114]

(1, 1) the slope is 2 and slopes can be read the easiest when expressed as a fraction (2/1) when the numerator (2) expresses how many digits you move the point up and the denominator (1) expresses how many points you move right

Determine whether the following event is mutually exclusive or not mutually exclusive.

Softa [21]

Answer:

The event is mutually exclusive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutually exclusive events are events that cannot exist simultaneously.

Thus, events that are not mutually exclusive can exist simultaneously.

Since each student only has one major, a single student cannot be both a mathematics major and a business major.

So, the event is mutually exclusive.

One tank is filling at the rate of 3/4 gallon / 2/3 minute a second tank is filling at the rate of 3/8 gallon per 1/2 minute whi

eduard

$\bf \cfrac{\quad \stackrel{gallons}{\frac{3}{4}}\quad }{\stackrel{minutes}{\frac{2}{3}}}\implies \cfrac{3}{4}\cdot \cfrac{3}{2}\implies \cfrac{9}{8}~g/m
\\\\\\
\cfrac{\quad \stackrel{gallons}{\frac{3}{8}}\quad }{\stackrel{minutes}{\frac{1}{2}}}\implies \cfrac{3}{8}\cdot \cfrac{2}{1}\implies \cfrac{3}{4}~g/m\\\\
-------------------------------$

$\bf \cfrac{3}{4}\cdot \cfrac{2}{2}\implies \cfrac{6}{8}\quad \textit{clearly then }\cfrac{9}{8}\textit{ is larger than }\cfrac{6}{8}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{\stackrel{tank's~volume}{gallons}}{y}=\cfrac{9}{8}\stackrel{minutes}{x}$
