Answer:

15 Nickels, 11 Pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify your life and take out the decimals

5*N + P = 86

P + 4 = N (4 more nickels than pennies)

By substitution of the second eq into the first: 5*(P+4) + P = 86

5*P + 20 + P = 86

6P = 66

P = 11, so N = 4 + 11 = 15

Answer:Ruby has 11 pennies and 15 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

The worth of a penny is 1 cent. Converting to dollars, it becomes

1/100 = $0.01

The worth of a nickel is 5 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes

5/100 = $0.05

Let x represent the number of pemnies that Ruby has.

Let y represent the number of nickels that Ruby has.

She has 4 more nickels than pennies. This means that

y = x + 4

Ruby has $0.86 worth of pennies and nickels. This means that

0.01x + 0.05y = 0.86 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting y = x + 4 into equation 1, it becomes

0.01x + 0.05(x + 4) = 0.86

0.01x + 0.05x + 0.2 = 0.86

0.06x = 0.86 - 0.2 = 0.66

x = 0.66/0.06

x = 11

y = x + 4 = 11 + 4

y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

a triangular number n is the sum of all natural numbers <= n.

t1 = 1

t2 = 1+2 = 3

t3 = 1+2+3 = 6

t4 = 1+2+3+4 = 10

...

so,

tn = tn-1 + n

1×8 + 1 = 9 is a square number.

3×8 + 1 = 25 is a square number

6×8 + 1 = 49 is a square number

10×8 + 1 = 81 is a square number

48.

1/3 = 0 remainder 1

3/3 = 1 remainder 0

6/3 = 2 remainder 0

10/3 = 3 remainder 1

15/3 = 5 remainder 0

21/3 = 7 remainder 0

28/3 = 9 remainder 1

so, there seems to be a pattern 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 ...

49.

1/4 = 0 remainder 1

4/4 = 1 remainder 0

9/4 = 2 remainder 1

16/4 = 4 remainder 0

25/4 = 6 remainder 1

36/4 = 9 remainder 0

49/4 = 12 remainder 1

so, there seems to be a pattern 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 ...

50.

polygonal numbers is the real name for this.

the formula for dimensions = 5 is

(3n² − n)/2

for dimensions = 6 it is

2n² - n

so, dimensions=5 (and therefore dividing also by 5) we get the remainders

1/5 = 0 remainder 1

5/5 = 1 remainder 0

12/5 = 2 remainder 2

22/5 = 4 remainder 2

35/5 = 7 remainder 0

51/5 = 10 remainder 1

70/5 = 14 remainder 0

92/5 = 18 remainder 2

117/5 = 23 remainder 2

145/5 = 29 remainder 0

here the pattern is 1 0 2 2 0 1 0 2 2 0 1 0 2 2 0 ...

dimensions=6 (and therefore dividing also by 6) we get the remainders

1/6 = 0 remainder 1

6/6 = 1 remainder 0

15/6 = 2 remainder 3

28/6 = 4 remainder 4

45/6 = 7 remainder 3

66/6 = 11 remainder 0

91/6 = 15 remainder 1

120/6 = 20 remainder 0

153/6 = 25 remainder 3

190/6 = 31 remainder 4

231/6 = 38 remainder 3

276/6 = 46 remainder 0

325/6 = 54 remainder 1

here the pattern is 1 0 3 4 3 0 1 0 3 4 3 0 1 0 3 4 3 0 ...

Convert 17.42 m to customary units. A.57'-17/8" B. 36-10 1/2" C. 442 1/2" D. 367/8" E. None of these answers is reasonable.
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Option E - None of these answers is reasonable.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : Convert 17.42 m to customary units ?

Solution :

The customary units is defined as the measure length and distances in the customary system are inches, feet, yards, and miles.

The options belong to feet and inches.

We have to convert meter into inches, feet.

Meter into feet,

1 \text{ feet} = 0.3048 \text{ meter}

1 \text{ meter} = \frac{1}{0.3048}\text{ feet}

17.42 \text{ meter} = \frac{17.42}{0.3048}\text{ feet}

17.42 \text{ meter} = \frac{174200}{3048}\text{ feet}

17.42 \text{ meter} =57 \frac{464}{3048}\text{ feet}

17.42 \text{ meter} =57 \frac{58}{381}\text{ feet}

Now, Feet into inches

1 \text{ feet} = 12\text{ inches}

\frac{58}{381} \text{ feet} = 12\times \frac{58}{381}\text{ inches}

\frac{58}{381} \text{ feet} =\frac{232}{381}\text{ inches}

i.e.  17.42 \text{ meter} =57\text{ feet }\frac{232}{381}\text{ inches}

or 17.42 \text{ meter} =57'\frac{232}{381}''

None of these answers is reasonable.

Therefore, Option E is correct.

Determine the type(s) of the triangle with the given coordinates. X(6,1) Y(-2,-3) Z(0,3)
jeyben [28]

The triangle with the given coordinates X(6,1) Y(-2,-3) Z(0,3) is an isosceles triangle.

The given coordinates are X(6,1) Y(-2,-3) Z(0,3).

<h3>What are coordinates?</h3>

A coordinate system is a system in geometry that employs one or more integers, or coordinates, to define the position of points or other geometric components on a manifold, such as Euclidean space, in a unique way.

We know that, Distance formula =\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1}  )^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1}  )^{2}  }

Now, XY=\sqrt{(-2-6)^{2}+(-3-1)^{2}  }=\sqrt{80} units

YZ=\sqrt{(0+2)^{2}+(3+3)^{2}  }=\sqrt{40} units

XZ=\sqrt{(0-6)^{2}+(3-1)^{2}  }=\sqrt{40} units

Here, YZ=XZ

Hence, the triangle with the given coordinates X(6,1) Y(-2,-3) Z(0,3) is an isosceles triangle.
