Answer:

There are 9 dimes and 18 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d = be the number of dimes

n = be the number of nickels

d + n = 27...eq.1

0.10d + 0.05n = 1.80...eq.2

Solve the system of equations

d + n = 27

10d + 5n = 180 ( multiply eq.2 by 100 )

-5d - 5n = -135

5d = 45

d = 9 , there are 9 dimes so,0.90

n = 27 - 9 = 18, there are 18 nickels so, 0.90

To check: 9 dimes + 18 nickels = 27 coins

0.90 + 0.90 = $ 1.80 total value of the coins

Morris has 2 3/4 gallons of ice tea. He gives 3/7 of it to her friend. How many gallons of ice tea does Morris have left?

Answer:

$2 \frac{9}{28}$ gallons of ice tea is left with Morris

Step-by-step explanation:

Morris has 2 3/4 gallons of ice tea. He gives 3/7 of it to her friend.

Morris has 2 3/4 gallons of ice tea

$2\frac{3}{4}= \frac{2*4+3}{4}=\frac{11}{4}$

He gives 3/7 of it to her friend.

To find how many gallons of ice tea does Morris have left , we subtract 3/7 from 11/4

$\frac{11}{4}- \frac{3}{7}$

Make the denominators same

$\frac{11*7}{4*7}- \frac{3*4}{7*4}$

$\frac{77}{28}- \frac{12}{28}$

$\frac{65}{28}$

$\frac{65}{28} = 2 \frac{9}{28}$

Use the following statements to find a compound statement for (p∨q)∧rp∨q)∧r p: 5<-3 q: All vertical angles are congruent. r:

guajiro [1.7K]

Given the compound statement <span>(p∨q)∧r
where: p: 5 < -3
q : All vertical angles are congruent.
r: 4x = 36, then x = 9.

Recall the in logic, '</span>∨' symbolises "or" while '∧' symbolises "and".

Therefore, the compound statement <span>(p∨q)∧r can be written as follows:
Either 5 < -3 or all vertical angles are congruent, and if 4x = 36, then x = 9.
</span>

A park has a length to width ratio of 7:4 and the perimeter of the park is 880 meters. What are the length and width of the park

Schach [20]

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of length to width = 7 : 4

length = 7x

width = 4x

7x + 4x = 11x

length = 880

$880 + 4x = 11x$
