Answer:
250 nickles
Step-by-step explanation:
Nickles and dimes are coins with different currency values. One nickel(N) is equal to 5 cents while one dime(D) is equal to 10 cents. The ratio of nickel:dime is 5:7, to put into the equation it will be:
N/D= 5/7
7N=5D ---> 1st equation
There are 350 dimes, the equation will be:
D=350 ----> 2nd equation
We can find out the number of nickels by substitute the 2nd equation into the first. The calculation will be
7N=5D
N= 5D/7
N=5(350)/7
N= 250
Answer:
2/13
Step-by-step explanation:
In a deck of 52 cards, there are 2 sets of red cards. Diamonds and Hearts. In each set of red cards, there are 4 fives. If there are 2 sets, that means that there are 8 red fives in the deck of 52 cards. This means that the probability is 8/52 which is simplified into 2/13.
<h2>Solution :- </h2>
Let the number be "x" , then according to the question :
• 2x - 12 = -8
Further solving
→ 2x = -8 + 12
→ 2x = 4 .
→ x = 2
