Answer:
<u>Part A: </u>
<u>n = 5q (1st equation)</u>
<u>0.05n + 0.25q = 2 (2nd equation)</u>
<u>Part B:</u>
<u>q = 4 ⇒ n = 5 * 4 = 20</u>
<u>Part C:</u>
<u>Margie has 20 nickels and 4 quarters, for a total of $ 2.00</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's recall that a nickel has a value of $ 0.05 and a quarter a value of $ 0.25.
Let n represent the number of nickels and q represent the number of quarters.
Part A:
Write a system of equations to represent the situation.
n = 5q (1st equation)
n * 0.05 + q * 0.25 = 2
0.05n + 0.25q = 2 (2nd equation)
Part B:
Replacing n in the 2nd equation to solve for q:
0.05n + 0.25q = 2
0.05 * 5q + 0.25q = 2
0.25q + 0.25q = 2
0.5q = 2
q = 2/0.5
<u>q = 4 ⇒ n = 5 * 4 = 20</u>
<u>Part C:</u>
<u>Margie has 20 nickels and 4 quarters, for a total of $ 2.00</u>
Answer:
Let's just call the number x. 3/8ths of x and 1 more equals 11.
As an equation, this basically means
Let x be the mass of the paperbacks and y be the mass of the textbook.
20x + 9y = 44.4 ----------- (1)
25x + 10y = 51 -------------(2)
(1) x 10:
200x + 90y = 444 --------(1a)
(2) x 9:
225x + 90y = 459 --------(2a)
(2a) - (1a):
25x = 15
x = 0.6 -------- sub into (1)
20 (0.6) + 9y = 44.4
12 + 9y = 44.4
9y = 44.4 - 12
9y = 32.4
y = 3.6
So the paperback's mass is 0.6 pounds and textbook is 3.6 pounds
Answer: 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 60/12 becuase we can simfly both of theese mixed numbers into an improper fraction, wich will be 4/3*15/4. We do the multiplication, and we get 60/12. 60/12 can be simplifed to 5 becuase 60 divided by 12 is 5
