Answer:

713/40 or as mixed fraction of 17 33/40 (see setps below)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-(3 + 7/8) (-(4 + 3/5))

Hint: | Multiply all instances of -1 in -(3 + 7/8) (-(4 + 3/5)).

(-1)^2 = 1:

(4 + 3/5) (3 + 7/8)

Hint: | Put the fractions in 3 + 7/8 over a common denominator.

Put 3 + 7/8 over the common denominator 8. 3 + 7/8 = (8×3)/8 + 7/8:

(4 + 3/5) (8×3)/8 + 7/8

Hint: | Multiply 8 and 3 together.

8×3 = 24:

(4 + 3/5) (24/8 + 7/8)

Hint: | Add the fractions over a common denominator to a single fraction.

24/8 + 7/8 = (24 + 7)/8:

(4 + 3/5) (24 + 7)/8

Hint: | Evaluate 24 + 7 using long addition.

| 1 |  

| 2 | 4

+ | | 7

| 3 | 1:

(4 + 3/5)×31/8

Hint: | Put the fractions in 4 + 3/5 over a common denominator.

Put 4 + 3/5 over the common denominator 5. 4 + 3/5 = (5×4)/5 + 3/5:

31/8 (5×4)/5 + 3/5

Hint: | Multiply 5 and 4 together.

5×4 = 20:

((20/5 + 3/5)×31)/8

Hint: | Add the fractions over a common denominator to a single fraction.

20/5 + 3/5 = (20 + 3)/5:

31/8 (20 + 3)/5

Hint: | Evaluate 20 + 3.

20 + 3 = 23:

23/5×31/8

Hint: | Express 23/5×31/8 as a single fraction.

23/5×31/8 = (23×31)/(5×8):

(23×31)/(5×8)

Hint: | Multiply 5 and 8 together.

5×8 = 40:

(23×31)/40

Hint: | Multiply 23 and 31 together.

Answer: 713/40

________________________________________

Convert to a mixed number:

713/40

Hint: | Use long division to get a quotient and remainder.

Divide 713 by 40:

4 | 0 | 7 | 1 | 3

Hint: | How many times does 40 go into 71?

40 goes into 71 at most one time:

| | | 1 | |  

4 | 0 | 7 | 1 | 3 |  

| - | 4 | 0 | |  

| | 3 | 1 | 3 |  

Hint: | How many times does 40 go into 313?

40 goes into 313 at most 7 times:

| | | 1 | 7 |  

4 | 0 | 7 | 1 | 3 |  

| - | 4 | 0 | |  

| | 3 | 1 | 3 |  

| - | 2 | 8 | 0 |  

| | | 3 | 3 |  

Hint: | Summarize the results.

Read off the results. The quotient is the number at the top and the remainder is the number at the bottom:

| | | 1 | 7 | (quotient)

4 | 0 | 7 | 1 | 3 |  

| - | 4 | 0 | |  

| | 3 | 1 | 3 |  

| - | 2 | 8 | 0 |  

| | | 3 | 3 | (remainder)

Hint: | In the equivalent mixed fraction, the quotient becomes the whole number part, the remainder becomes the numerator part, and the divisor (denominator) remains the denominator.

The quotient of 713/40 is 17 with remainder 33, so:

I'm not sure if it only wants you to find Equation 1 or go further and solve:

x = the number of 5c coins

y = the number of 10c coins

Equation 1: the total number of coins is 65

x + y = 65

total value of $3.80

0.05x + 0.1y = 3.8

<u>Simultaneous Equations</u>

Make one coefficient the same

10 * (0.05x + 0.1y = 3.80 = 0.5x + y = 38

x + y = 65

0.5x + y = 38

Subtract the equations

(x + y) - (0.5x + y)= 65 - 38

(x - 0.5x) + (y - y) = 65 - 38

0.5x = 27

x = 54

Substitute it into the original equation to find y.

x + y = 65

54 + y = 56

y = 65 - 54 = 11

Substitute it into the other equation to check it's right.

0.05x + 0.1y = 3.8

0.05(54) + 0.1(65) = 3.8

x = 54 5c coins

y = 11 10c coins
