Answer: 56

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that ,

The diameter of each U.S. penny = $\dfrac{3}{4}$ inch.

The length of the row of pennies = 42 inches

Then , the number of pennies in that row will be :

$=\text{Length of row}\div\text{Diameter of each penny}\\\\=42\div\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\=42\times\dfrac{4}{3}\ \ \text{[Flip divisor fraction, multiply the original number by its reciprocal.]}\\\\=56$

Hence, the required number of pennies. = 56

damaskus [11]

Given:

There are given that the two paths and one path are 2 miles from the road.

Explanation:

Suppose the distance from the playground to the road is x.

To find the value x, we need to use the cos function;

So,

From the cos function in the given right angle triangle:

$cos50^{\circ}=\frac{x}{2}$

Then,

$\begin{gathered} cos50^{\operatorname{\circ}}=\frac{x}{2} \\ 0.64=\frac{x}{2} \end{gathered}$

Then,

$\begin{gathered} 0.64=\frac{x}{2} \\ x=0.64\times2 \\ x=1.28 \\ x=1.3mi \end{gathered}$

Final answer:

Hence, the correct option C.
