15 quarters and 21 dimes in total = $5.85

Step-by-step explanation:

(.25•15) + (.10•21) = $5.85

15+21=36 coins

The main idea here is to "translate" the words into maths. 
First we need to identify the unknowns and label these. 

We need to know the number if dimes and the number of quarters. So lets say
x: number of dimes
y: number of quarters

Now lets write equations from the written problem. 
We know that there are 36 coind total, thus: 
x + y = 36
We also know that the coins total 5.85 dollars, but it is better to count in cents, that is 585 cents. 
x are the number of dimes, their value is x*10
y are quarters with value of y*25
thus: 
10x+25y=585

We have two equations and two unknowns now, that needs to be solved to get the answer. 

x + y = 36
10x+25y=585

Answer:

Experimental probability is likely to be slightly different from theoretical probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because there is a 50-50 chance, but it is unlikely to be exactly 100-100. That is just to hypothesis!

Jack needs 22 pirates for every 2 pirate ships he manages
AysviL [449]

Answer:

55 pirates for 5 ships, 121 pirates for 11 ships

Step-by-step explanation:

for every 2 ships he needs 22 pirates, divide both by 2 and we see that for every ship he needs 11 pirates, also can write as 2x= 22 and divide both sides by 2, x=11 now that we know for every ship he needs 11 pirates we just multiply 11 times the amount of ships or 11x=y, 11 times 5 is 55 and 11 times 11 is 121

That's five hours
160*2 is 320
320*2 is 640
640*2 is 1280
1280*2 is 2560
The answer should be 2560

Step-by-step explanation:

a. ratio is 12:40 since they're are 12 non fiction and 40 graphic novels

b. 40:12 (same reasoning as part a)

c. 6:40 for the ratio of science fiction to graphic novel, 12:6 for the ration of non fiction to science fiction, x:6 for the ratio of the unknown amount of fiction books to the science fiction books. (x is just there as a variable so it just represents fiction books)
