We know that
Olive <span>has a total of 8 pints of ice cream
</span><span>If she splits each pint into 1/2 pint servings----------> 8/(1/2)-----> 8*2=16
the answer is 16 </span><span>servings of ice cream</span>
Let x be the number of nickels and y be the number of quarters.
Then, x + y = 42 --- (1)
It is given that total value = 4.90.
Therefore, 0.05x + 0.25y = 4.9 --- (2)
Multiply (1) by 0.25
0.25x + 0.25y = 10.5 --- (3)
Now, subtract (2) from (3), we get,
0.2x = 5.6
Divide both sides by 0.2.
x = 28
x + y = 42
y = 42 - x
= 42 - 28
= 14
Hence, Mary has 28 nickels and 14 quarters in total.
24/6 is equal to 4 so it is an interger and a whole number too because 24 ÷ 6 = 4.
