Answer:

The equation could be

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1\\0.05&0.1\end{array}\right] \times \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}30\\2.10\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to represent the number of coins would be

x + y = 30

The equation to represent the amount of money the coins are worth would be

0.05x + 0.10y = 2.10

This gives us the system

\left \{ {{x+y=30} \atop {0.05x+0.10y=2.10}} \right.

Using matrices, the first matrix will be the coefficient matrix.  This contains the coefficients for x and y for both equations:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1\\0.05&0.10\end{array}\right]

The second matrix will be the variable matrix, containing the variables for both equations:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right]

The matrix after the equals sign will be the constant matrix:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}30\\2.10\end{array}\right]

This gives us the matrix equation above.

x + y = 30


5x + 10 y = 210


As a matrix equation that's


\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 5 & 10 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}30\\ 210 \end{pmatrix}

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

13/100

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The probability of the event occurring plus the probability of the event not occurring must equal to 1

If the probability that a pupil in a class has a calculator is 0.87

then

The probability that the pupil does not have a calculator is equal to

1-0.87=0.13

Convert to fraction

0.13=\frac{13}{100}

Convert the repeating decimal to an improper fraction or mixed number. Include your work in your final answer. \(3.\overline{152
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Assuming the repetitive part is 152, i.e. the original repeating decimal is

A=3.152152152....

then  

1000A=3152.152152152152....

subtract A

1000A-A=3152.152152....-3.152152152....

999A=3149

A=3149/999=3+152/999=3 152/999

Therefore

3.152152152.... = 3149/999 or 3 152/999
