DENIUS [597]3 years ago

For this case we propose a system of equations. We have to:

x: Let the variable that represents the number of dimes

y: Let the variable that represents the number of quaters

We know that:

One dime equals 10 cents, $0.10

A quater equals 0.25 cents, $0.25

According to the statement we have:

x + y = 5\\0.10x + 0.25y = 1

We multiply the first equation by -0.10:

-0.10x-0.10y = -0.5

We have the following equivalent system:

-0.10x-0.10y = -0.5\\0.10x + 0.25y = 1

We add the equations:

-0.10x + 0.10x-010y + 0.25y = -0.5 + 1\\0.15y = 0.5\\y = \frac {0.5}{0.15}\\y = 3.33

Approximately 3 quater coins

x = 5-y = 5-3 = 2

And two dimes

Answer:

3 quater

2 dimes

Change 3/11 to a decimal
inysia [295]
To change a fraction to a decimal , you just divide the number on top by the number on the bottom.
So to change 3/11 to a decimal you divide 3 by 11 and you get  0.272727
= 3/11

= 3 ÷ 11

<span>= 0.272727
</span>
you can round this to 0.273

Find the equation of a line with an x-intercept (2,0) and a y-intercept
cricket20 [7]
Since that is only one set of numbers, you would have to start on the origin, then move right on the x-axis twice because the first number is 2, and stay there for the other half of the equation since the other number is 0.
