A collection of nickels and dimes has a value of 1.85. The value of the dimes is 0.10 less than twice the value of the nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number of nickels and d be number of dimes.

Since we know that the value of one dime equals $0.10 and value of 1 nickel is $0.05, therefore, value of n nickels will be 0.05n and value of d dimes will be 0.10d.

We have been given that a collection of nickels and dimes has a value of 1.85.

Let us represent this information in an equation.

0.05n+0.10d=1.85...(1)

We have been given that the value of the dimes is 0.10 less than twice the value of the nickels.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

0.10d+0.10=2*(0.05n)...(2)

Therefore, our system of equations that can be used to find the number of nickels and the number of dimes is:      

0.05n+0.10d=1.85...(1)  

0.10d+0.10=2*(0.05n)...(2)

Let S = {A, B, C, D} be some set of four elements of a vector space. Suppose that D = 2A + B + 3C and C = A − B. Is {A, B, D} li
Olin [163]

Answer:

As explained

Step-by-step explanation:

given that D = 2A + B + 3C and S = {A, B, C, D}, C = A − B

for {A, B, D}  to be linearly dependent implies that A B and D will have values that not dependent on the sample space C.

if C = A -B is substituted in the original equation, the generated equation, 5A -2B will have values each as against C which is linearly independent.

Also, D will have values that are linearly dependent.

A container of coffee is 1/6 full. That container contains 2/3 of a pound of coffee write a division expression that represents
Marizza181 [45]

Let us assume total capacity of the container = x pounds.

Container contains 1/6th coffee of total x pounds,  that is x/6 pounds.

We also given that 1/6th part is equal to 2/3 of a pound.

So, we could setup an equation now.

x/6 pounds equals 2/3 of a pound.

\frac{x}{6} = \frac{2}{3}

Dividing both sides by 1/6, we get

\frac{x}{6} ÷ \frac{1}{6} = \frac{2}{3} ÷\frac{1}{6}.

Therefore,  x = \frac{2}{3} ÷\frac{1}{6}

Division expression that represents the capacity of the container = 2/3 ÷ 1/6.

a leatherback turtle swims at a constant rate of 2.5 kilometers per hour, at its constant rate of speed how long will it take fo
LekaFEV [45]
Hello there!

So, if this turtle is only going 2.5 miles per hour. This would mean that (EACH) hour, this turtle only arrived 2.5 miles. So, we do,

\boxed{10.0 \left \{ {{2.5+2.5=5.0} \atop {2.5+2.5=5.0}} \right.}

We would have to count how many ("2.5's" they are above.)

We count only 4.

I would take this turtle 4 miles to swim 10 kilometers.

The heights of a students(in cm) are:54,52,56,54,58,51.<br><br> Find the median.​
kumpel [21]

Answer:

To answer this question you will use the median height of 156 centimeters and the fact that there are 26 kids in the class to know that the median is not in the data set, therefore it breaks the data into two equal halves with 13 in each half.

There would be 13 less or equal to the median height.

hope i helped ;)
