Lian has $1.00. She has only nickels and dimes. Lian has twice as many dimes as nickels. How many dimes does she have?

Mathematics

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Lian has \$1.00 and she has twice as many dimes as nickels

Suppose she has x nickels

So, the number of dimes is 2x

Nickel is equivalent to 5 cents and dime is equivalent to 10 cent

\therefore \ x(0.05)+2x(0.1)=1\\\Rightarrow 0.05x+0.2x=1\\\Rightarrow 0.25x=1\\\Rightarrow x=4

Therefore she has 8 dimes with her.

Given:

The equation of a line is:

y=-\dfrac{5}{7}x+2

A line passes through the point (-5,-3) and perpendicular to the given line.

To find:

The equation of the line.

Solution:

Slope intercept form of a line is:

y=mx+b                 ...(i)

Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We have,

y=-\dfrac{5}{7}x+2          ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

m=-\dfrac{5}{7}

We know that the product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is always -1.

m_1\times m_2=-1

-\dfrac{5}{7}\times m_2=-1

m_2=\dfrac{7}{5}

Slope of the required line is \dfrac{7}{5} and it passes through the point (-5,-3). So, the equation of the line is:

y-y_1=m_2(x-x_1)

y-(-3)=\dfrac{7}{5}(x-(-5))

y+3=\dfrac{7}{5}(x+5)

Using distributive property, we get

y+3=\dfrac{7}{5}(x)+\dfrac{7}{5}(5)

y+3=\dfrac{7}{5}x+7

y=\dfrac{7}{5}x+7-3

y=\dfrac{7}{5}x+4

Therefore, the equation of the line is y=\dfrac{7}{5}x+4. Hence, option A is correct.

Find the unit rate: 6 and 2/5 rotations in 2 and 2/3 seconds.
GrogVix [38]
I'd suggest you write "6 2/5," not "6 and 2/5."

6 2/5 rotations
-------------------- = 
2 2/3 seconds

32
---
 5            32       3
------- = ------ * -----
 8              5       8                 Reduce that 32/8:  obtain 4.
---
 3

Then we have

4(3)/5, or 12/5 rotations per sec.

A circle is cut into congruent sections and arranged to form a figure that approximates a parallelogram. Find the approximate he
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

<h2>The height is 3.43 centimeters, approximately.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that there are 16 pieces from the circle, which means each sector has an angle of

\theta = \frac{360\°}{16}=22.5\°

Where all sectors have equal area.

Now, the area of the whole circle is 12.25 \pi \ cm^{2}, if we use the formula of its area, we'll find the radius of the circle

A= \pi r^{2}\\ 12.25\pi = \pi r^{2}\\ r=\sqrt{12.25} \approx  3.5

Notice that each piece works as an isosceles triangle, because each side is the radius, that is, they have the same length. So far, we know the sides of the isosceles triangle and one internal angle.

To find the height of the one piece, we need to use trigonometric reasons, because the height divides a triangle in two equal right triangles.

cos(11.25\°)=\frac{h}{3.5}\\ h=3.5 \times cos(11.25 \°)\\h \approx 3.43

Therefore, the height is 3.43 centimeters, approximately.
