Sonji has $5.25 in nickels and dimes.The coin value can be modeled by the equation 0.10 d plus 0.05 n equals 5.25, where d repre

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

To find the number of nickels and dimes, we can use this equation: 0.10d + 0.05n = 5.25

We are given the information that Sonji has 21 dimes (which means that d=21). We can use the equation to find the number of nickels n.

0.10d + 0.05n = 5.25

0.10(21) + 0.05n = 5.25

2.10 + 0.05n = 5.25

0.05n = 3.15

n = 3.15 / 0.05

n = 315 / 5

n = 63

Sonji has 63 nickels.

Let's check our answer.

21(0.10) + 63(0.05) = 2.10 + 3.15 = 5.25

It seems that our answer is correct.

Tiwa spent 1 1/2 hours setting up her computer. It took her 3 times as long to install the software. How long did it take Tiwa t

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Total time spent by Tiwa to set up the computer and install software = 6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time spent by Tiwa to set up her computer = $1\frac{1}{2}\ hours$

Time spent to install the software is 3 times the time she took to set up the computer.

To find the total time Tiwa took to set up her computer and install the software.

Solution:

Time spent by Tiwa to install the software can be given as:

⇒ $3\times 1\frac{1}{2} \ hours$

<em>In order to multiply mixed numbers we first change them to fractions.</em>

We multiply the denominator to the whole number and add the numerator to it. Then we write the number as numerator of a fraction with the same denominator.

So, $1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$

So, we have:

⇒ $3\times \frac{3}{2}\ hours$

⇒ $\frac{9}{2}\ hours$

Total time spent by Tiwa to set up the computer and install software can be given as:

⇒ $\frac{3}{2}\ hours+\frac{9}{2}\ hours$

Since denominators are same, so we simply add the numerators.

⇒ $\frac{3+9}{2}\ hours$

⇒ $\frac{12}{2}\ hours$

⇒ $6\ hours$
