Answer:

\frac{1}{6} of the game is left.

Step-by-step explanation:

A hockey game has 3 periods.

Now, it is halfway through two periods, which means that 2 + 0.5 = 2.5 periods have been played.

Amount remaining:

Total of 100% = 1, subtracted by the fraction played, which is 2.5 of 3 = 5 of 6. So

1 - \frac{2.5}{3} = 1 - \frac{5}{6} = \frac{6 - 5}{6} = \frac{1}{6}

\frac{1}{6} of the game is left.

kozerog [31]

Answer:

There are 38 dimes, 22 nickels and 16 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n, d and q represent the # of nickels, dimes and quarters respectively.

Then n + d + q = 76

The value of a nickel is $0.05; that of a dime is $0.10, and that of a quarter is $0.25.

Thus, the value of n nickels is $0.05n (and so on).

The total value of the coins is $0.05n + $0.10d + $0.25q = $8.90.

d = n + q allows us to eliminate d.

First, n + d + q = 76 becomes n + (n + q) + q = 76, and second:

$0.05n + $0.10(n + q) + $0.25q = $8.90.  Here we have succeeded in eliminating d from two different equations, and now we have these two different equations in two unknowns (n and q), which is solvable.

Simplifying both equations, we get:

2n + 2q = 76 and

5n + 10n + 10q + 25q = 890, or 15n + 35q = 890

Let's use the substitution method of solving linear equations:

Rewrite 2n  + 2q = 76 as n + q = 38, or n = 38 - q.  Substituting this result into the second equation, we get:

15(38 - q) + 35 q = 890, or

  570 - 15q + 35q = 890, or

   570 + 20 q = 890.  Then 20q = 890 - 570 = 320, and q = 320/20 = 16.

There are 16 quarters.  Thus, the number of nickels is n = 38 - 16 = 22.

Finally, since n + d + q = 76, 22 + d + 16 = 76, or:

22 + d = 60, or d = 60 - 22 = 38.

There are 38 dimes, 22 nickels and 16 quarters.
