Brad have 19 quarters and 27 nickels.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Total worth of nickels and quarters = $6.10 = 6.10*100 = 610 cents
One quarter = 25 cents
One nickel = 5 cents
Let,
x represent the number of quarters.
y represent the number of nickels.
According to given statement;
25x+5y=610 Eqn 1
y = x+8 Eqn 2
Putting value of y from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2

Dividing both sides by 30

Putting x=19 in Eqn 2

Brad have 19 quarters and 27 nickels.

Answer:
x=40/9
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
a.) The sum of the weights of the two in insects is 0.0031 grams. (0.0031 grams)
b.) The fly is 0.0013 grams heavier than the gnat. (0.0013 grams)
Step-by-step explanation:
2.2 * 10^-3 = 2.2 * 1/1000 which is 2.2/1000.
9 * 10^-4 = 9 * 1/10000 = 9/10000
To add 9/10000 to 2.2/1000 we have to find the common denominator, which will be 10000.
So we do:
2.2/1000 * 10/10 = 22/10000
9/10000 + 22/10000 = 31/10000 = 0.0031.
The sum of the weights of the two in insects is 0.0031 grams.
To find how much heavier the fly is than the gnat we do:
22/10000 - 9/10000 = 13/10000 = 0.0013
The fly is 0.0013 grams heavier than the gnat.
The estimated cost is 400$
