First subtract the two numbers:
8 - 5 = 3
Now divide this to the original:
3 / 5 = 0.6
Multiply by 100:
0.6 * 100 = 60%
A collection of nickels and dimes is worth $4.40. There are 53 coins in all. How many nickels are there?
Nickel is a US coin worth 5 cents or 0.05.
Dime is a US coin worth 10 cents or 0.10
n + d = 53
0.05n + 0.10d = 4.40
n = 53 - d
0.05(53 - d) + 0.10d = 4.40
2.65 - 0.05d + 0.10d = 4.40
0.05d = 4.40 - 2.65
0.05d = 1.75
d = 1.75 / 0.05
d = 35
n = 53 - d
n = 53 - 35
n = 18
There are 18 nickels and 35 dimes.
0.05n + 0.10d = 4.40
0.05(18) + 0.10(35) = 4.40
0.90 + 3.5 = 4.40
4.40 = 4.40
Answer:
1 9/10
Step-by-step explanation:
3 1/10 = 3.10
1 1/5 = 1.2
3.1 - 1.2 = 1.9
1.9 = 1 9/10
Hope this helped!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
altitude = sqrt(6*8) = 4*sqrt(3)
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to derive x
altitude^2 + 18^2 = x^2
48 + 18^2 = x^2
x^2 = 342
x = 3*sqrt(38)
x = 18.49
