Answer:

$149.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = x

Length = 2x - 5

Perimeter of the room = 5x

Perimeter of the room = 2(length + width)

5x = 2{(2x-5) + x}

5x = 2(2x - 5 + x)

5x = 4x - 10 + 2x

5x = 6x - 10

5x - 6x = -10

-x = -10

x = 10

Width = x = 10

Length = 2x - 5

= 2*10 - 5

= 20 - 5

= 15

Perimeter of the room = 5x

= 5 × 10

= 50 square foot

If carpet costs $2.99 a square foot, what the total cost to carpet the living room

Total cost = $2.99 × 50

= $149.50

Avery’s piggy bank has 300 nickels, 450 pennies, and 150 dimes. She randomly picks three coins. Each time she picks a coin, she
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

(1) .20 (2) .40 (3) .12 (4) Less than

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to look at the table.  There are 5 columns with 10 rows.  5x10=50

Then simply count the boxes that have the correct number of currency for instance, if they are asking for EXACTLY 1 dime then you rule out the ones that have 2 or 3 dimes and only the count the ones that have a single dime.   So you count PDN but you would not count PDD.  There are 20 boxes that have a single dime in them.  20 out of the 50 boxes. 20/50=.40 (answer 2)

The estimated probability that exactly two of the three coins Avery randomly picked are nickels is . 20

The estimated probability that exactly one of the three coins Avery randomly picked is a dime is . 40

The estimated probability that all three coins Avery randomly picked are pennies is . 12

The answer to #1 is .20 or 20% and the answer to #2 is .40 or 40%.  20% is less than 40% so...

The estimated probability that exactly two of the three coins Avery randomly picked are nickels is  LESS THAN the estimated probability that exactly one of the three coins Avery randomly picked is a dime.
