Getting rid of the decimal points, we realize that these numbers have a common denominator- 12. Since it takes Me 10 minutes to jog 1.2 miles, then it would take me 40 minutes to jog 4.8 miles
<span>x : y is equal to 12 : 8. These can be reduced or cancelled down to 3 : 2 in the same proportions. Therefore, when y is 12, you have to multiply the smallest value y can be by 6, and must do the same to the smallest x value to retain the proportions. x = 18 when y = 12.</span>
A) d+q=20
0.1d+0.25q=4.40 Let's just read what this says: first, # of dimes (d) plus # of quarters (q) is 20.The second equation can be called the VALUE EQUATION; it says that one tenth of a dollar ($0.10) times the # of dimes is part of the total monetary value, and that one quarter of a dollar ($0.25) times the # of 'quarter' coins is the other part of this stash, and it totals $4.40. VOTE FOR A.
