A nickel is equal to 5 cents or 0.05 dollars.

A quarter is equal to 25 cents or 0.25 dollars.

Let number of nickels be = n

Let number of quarters be = q

0.05n+0.25q=2.85    ...........(1)

As it is given, there are 3 more nickels than quarters so equation becomes,

n=q+3   ................(2)

Plug in the value of 'n' from (2) in (1)

0.05(q+3)+0.25q=2.85

= 0.05q+0.15+0.25q=2.85

0.30q=2.70

q=9

As n=q+3 we get, n=9+3=12

Hence, there are 12 nickels and 9 quarters.

The cost of one pound of bananas is greater than $0.41 and less than $0.50. Sarah pays $3.40 for x pounds of bananas. Which ineq
vredina [299]

Answer:

0.41<3.40/x<0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the cost of one pound of bananas is greater than $0.41 and less than $0.50. That is,

If the cost of one banana is P, then, the inequality will be

0.41 < P < 0.50

Sarah pays $3.40 for x pounds of bananas. The inequality that represents the range of possible pounds purchased will be achieved by below

3.40/0.41 = 8.29

3.40/0.50 = 6.8

Therefore, the inequality that represents the range of possible pounds purchased is

6 < x < 9 this is the same as 0.41<3.40/x<0.50

Ratio, proportion, percent 52 plates to 24 bowls
AleksAgata [21]
So to get a ratio of plates to bowl, you divide both the numbers by a common multiple, which I found the greatest to be 4. So you divide 52 by 4 and 24 by for to get a ratio of 13 plates to 6 bowls. (Also written as: 13:6, 13/6, or 13 to 6)
