Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

n + d = 12

0.05n + 0.1d = 1 ║ × ( - 10 )

n + d = 12 ..... (1)

- 0.5n - d = - 10 ..... (2)

(1) + (2)

0.5n = 2 ⇒ n = 4

d = 12 - 4 = 8

There are 4 nickels and 8 dimes in the pocket.

Change the fraction 7/12 to a decimal. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth

Just divide.

$\sf\dfrac{7}{12}\rightarrow7\div12\rightarrow0.58\overline{3}$

0.583333. . .
^ This is the thousandths place

Look at the number after that, if it's 5 or more we round up, if it's 4 or less we round down.

It's 3, so we round down to 0.583.

$P = 154\\a = 2b + 2$

a = ?; b = ?

$P = 2(a + b) = 2(2b + 2 + b) = 2(3b + 2) = 6b + 4$

$154 = 6b + 4\\6b = 154 - 4\\6b = 150\\b = 150 : 6\\b = 25$

$a = 2b + 2 = 2 * 25 + 2 = 50 + 2 = 52$

Answer: 25 and 52 m.
