Answer:

Carrie and Joan have 80 nickels and 40 dimes, respectively, and each one has an amount of money of 4 US dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be x and y the amounts of nickels and dimes that Carrie and Joan have, as c the total amount of money that both Carrie and Joan have. A nickel is a five cent coin and a dime is a ten cent coin.

The following equations are constructed after a careful reading on statement:

Carrie's amount of money:

0.05\cdot x = c (Eq. 1)

Joan's amount of money:

0.10\cdot y = c (Eq. 2)

Relation between amounts of coins:

x = y+40 (Eq. 3)

First we eliminate c by equalizing (Eq. 1) and (Eq. 2):

0.05\cdot x = 0.10\cdot y

Then, we reduce the resulting formula by (Eq. 3):

0.05\cdot (y+40) = 0.10\cdot y

y+40 = 2\cdot y

y = 40

And rest of variable are now determined:

x = 40+40

x = 80

c = 0.05\cdot (80)

c  = 4

Carrie and Joan have 80 nickels and 40 dimes, respectively, and each one has an amount of money of 4 US dollars.

Find the area of a circle if its circumference is 10 pi
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

25π

Step-by-step explanation:

pi's symbol is π, which will be used sometimes to make it easier later

The circumference is equal to diameter multiplied by pi. (Diameter is the length across the circle, radius the center of the circle to an edge point aka. half the diameter, and circumference is the edge length aka. perimeter of the circle.)

We can then remove the pi off the 10, as the diameter multiplied by pi is the circumference, so the diameter is 10.

Half of 10 is 5, the radius.

The formula for area of a circle is radius squared times pi, remember easily by π r ^2

We can plug in the radius into the formula to get

π 5 ^2

And finish it by solving the square root to get

π 25

25π

En un estudio estadistico se van a usar unicamente variables cuantitativas discretas para ingresarlas a un programa de analisis
notka56 [123]

Answer:

la variable que se debe ingresar en el programa corresponde a: c. edad

Step-by-step explanation:

Las variables cuantitativas son aquellas que toman valores numéricos y se clasifican en variables cuantitativas discretas que son las que sólo pueden asumir un número limitado de valores en un determinado rango, como por ejemplo, el número de carros que posee una persona y variables cuantitativas continuas que pueden tomar cualquier valor en un rango específico, como por ejemplo, el peso de un objeto. De acuerdo a estas definiciones, la respuesta es que la variable que se debe ingresar en el programa corresponde a: edad porque es una variable discreta dado que se registra en números enteros y no acepta cualquier valor en un intervalo específico.

Las otras opciones no son correctas porque la nacionalidad y el nivel de escolaridad no son variables cuantitativas y la altura es una variable cuantitativa continua.
