To answer this question you should begin with the coin that has a higher value.  If you start with the dime and then just add the correct number of pennies to total $0.40, you will see that you will need 3 dimes ($0.30) and 10 pennies ($0.10).  

I used a guess and check strategy starting with 2 dimes.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The combination of coins are:

         3 dimes and 10 pennies.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let there are d number of dines and p number of pennies.

Now as there are a total of 13 coins this means that:

                   d+p=13------(1)

and also the total value of the coins is 40 cents.

1 dime=10 cents

Hence, d dime= 10 d cents

Also, 1 penny= 1 cent

Hence p penny= p cents

Hence, we get:

                     10d+p=40------(2)

On subtracting equation (1) from (2) we get:

             9 d=27

on dividing both side by 9 we get:

                 d=3

On putting the value of d in equation (1) we get:

           3+p=13

i.e.  p=13-3

i.e.  p=10

The combination is:

    3 dimes and 10 pennies

If you place a 10-foot ladder against the top of a 6-foot building, how many feet will the bottom of the ladder be from the bott
Anika [276]

Answer: 8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a right triangle and label the sides using the given information. (Drawing below) Use pythagorean theorem to find the missing length:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(building)^2 + (missing piece)^2 = (ladder)^2

6^2 + x^2 = 10^2

36 + x^2 = 100. subtract 36

x^2 = 64. square root of both sides

x = 8

A box contains 28 balls of which 7 are red, 7 are blue, 14 are green.
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

1 /4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of red = 7

Number of Blue = 7

Number of green = 14

Total number of balls = 28

Probability of picking a ball that is neither red nor green.

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(neither red nor green) = P(picking a blue ball) = 7 / 28 = 1/4

3/5 + 4/15 = in simply
maksim [4K]
You have to get a common denominator so

3 x 3 = 9
5 x 3 = 15

So now we have 9/15 + 4/15 which is 13/15.

The answer is 13/15
