I think in this situation the best method would be a guess and check. You know that there are 8 dimes more than there are nickels. So just keep increasing each number by one until you reach $1.40. If there were 9 dimes and 1 nickels it would add up to $0.95. If there were 10 dimes and 2 nickels, it would add up to $1.10. If there were 11 dimes and 3 nickels, it would add up to $1.25. If there were 12 dimes and 4 nickels, it would add up to $1.40. So your answer is 12 dimes and 4 nickels.

I hope this helped!

Darlene has 59 pages to type. so far she gas type 23 pages. what fraction of the job is finished

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

$\frac{23}{59}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction can be found be taking the current amount over the total amount:

$\frac{current}{total}=\frac{23}{59}$

Since Darlene has only typed 23 pages out of 59, her fraction is 23 over 59. Fractions must always be in simplest form, which means that both the numerator and denominator can no longer be divided by the same factor. Since the numbers 23 and 59 are both prime and have no other factors other than 1 and themselves, the fraction 23/59 is in simplest form.
