Answer:

$2 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of apples be x

Then we have equation:

(9 - 1.5)x = 15
7.5x = 15
x = 15/7.5
x = 2

Cost of apple: $2 per pound

Peggy had three times as many quarters as nickels. She had $1.60 in all. How many nickels and how many quarters did she have?. .

Andru [333]

Let

n-------> the number of nickels

q------> the number of quarters

we know that

$1\ quarter=\$0.25\\1\ nickel=\$0.05$

$0.05n+0.25q=1.60$ ----> equation A

$q=3n$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

$0.05n+0.25[3n]=1.60$

$0.05n+0.75n=1.60$

$0.80n=1.60$

$n=2$

Find the value of q

$q=3*2=6$

therefore

The answer part a) is

the number of nickels are $2$ and the number of quarters are $6$

the answer Part b) is

The expressions that represents the number of quarters is

$q=3n$

A sector with a radius of 8 cm has an area of 56pi cm2. What is the central angle measure of the sector in radians?

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

$\frac{7\pi}{4}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Radius of circle = 8 cm

Area of sector = $56\pi\text{ cm}^2$

Formula for area of sector is

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}\theta r^2$

where, r is radius and $\theta$ is central angle in radian.

Substitute $A=56\pi$ and r=8 in the above formula.

$56\pi=\dfrac{1}{2}\theta (8)^2$

$56\pi=\dfrac{64}{2}\theta$

$56\pi=32\theta$

$\dfrac{56\pi}{32}=\theta$

$\dfrac{7\pi}{4}=\theta$

Therefore, the measure of the sector in radians is $\frac{7\pi}{4}$ .
