Answer:

The child has 6 dimes and 5 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let q and d represent the number of quarters and of dimes respectively.

Then q + d = 11 (Equation A), and ($0.25/quarter)q + ($0.10/dime)d = $1.85 (Equation B).

Multiply the 2nd equation by 100 to remove the decimal fractions:

25q + 10d = 185 (Equation C)

Now multiply the 1st equation by -10 to obtain -10q - 10d = -110 (Equation D), and combine this result with Equation C:

-10q - 10d = -110

25q + 10d = 185

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

15q         = 75, and so q = 75/15 = 5.

According to Equation A, q + d = 11.  Replacing q with 5, we get:

5 + d = 11, and so d = 6.

The child has 6 dimes and 5 quarters.

Write the expression without radicals, using only positive exponents
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

\sqrt[3]{a^{2}+b^{2}}=(a^{2}+b^{2})^{\frac{1}{3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

∵∛x = (x)^1/3

∴ \sqrt[3]{a^{2}+b^{2}}=(a^{2}+b^{2})^{\frac{1}{3}}

So you can replace the radicals by fractional exponents

A company that offers tubing trips down a river rents tubes for a person to use for $20 and “cooler” tubes to carry food and wat
Licemer1 [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

The number of each type of tube does the group rent is 11 tubes for person and 4 “cooler” tubes to carry food and water  

<u>Explanation:</u>

The rents for tubes for a person to use = $20

The rents for “cooler” tubes to carry food and water = $12.50.

The rent for a total of 15 tubes = $270

11 tubes whose rent cost  $20 =11 \times 20

                                                   = 220

4 “cooler” tubes rent cost  $12.50 =4 \times 12.5

                                                   = 50

Therefore for 15 tubes = 11 +4= 15

                            cost = 220 + 50

                                    =270                                                  

The number of each type of tube does the group rent is 11 tubes for person and 4 “cooler” tubes to carry food and water
