Answer:
I think the answer for the first one is 3 I am not sure about the second one
Let n = number of nickels, and p = number of pennies.
The number of coins is 25, so we get this equation.
n + p = 25
The value of the coins is 0.05 per nickel, and 0.01 per penny.
0.05n + 0.01p = 0.73
Now you have a system of equations.
n + p = 25
0.05n + 0.01p = 0.73
Solve the first equation for n:
n = 25 - p
Now substitute into the second equation.
0.05(25 - p) + 0.01p = 0.73
1.25 - 0.05p + 0.01p = 0.73
-0.04p = -0.52
p = 13
There were 13 pennies.
Now we substitute 13 for p in n + p = 25 to find out the number of nickels.
n + 13 = 25
n = 12
There are 13 pennies and 12 nickels.
Check: 13 pennies and 12 nickels does total 25 coins.
13 * 0.01 + 12 * 0.05 = 0.13 + 0.60 = 0.73
The value is $0.73.
Our answer is correct.
The answers is 3/9 which you can check by reducing. It reduces to 1/3. Basically you go 1/3 = x/9 then cross multiple to get 9=3x do the division so 3x/3 and 9/3 and you get 3/9.
No the 6 times 8 is 48 and the 9 times 12 is 108
