Answer: 14 nickels and 18 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Number of nickels , y = Number of quarters

As per given , we have

x+ y= 32            (i)

0.05x+0.25y= 5.20              (ii)

Multiply (ii) by 4 , we get

0.2x+y = 20.8          (iii)

Subtract (iii) from (i) , we get

0.8x = 11.2

\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{11.2}{0.8}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x = 14

Put value of x in (i) , we get

y =32-14 = 18

Hence, we have 14 nickels and 18 quarters.

A particular geometric sequence has strictly decreasing terms. After the first term, each successive term is calculated by multi
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

6 possible integers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A decreasing geometric sequence

Ratio = \frac{m}{7}

Required

Determine the possible integer values of m

Assume the first term of the sequence to be positive integer x;

The next sequence will be x *  \frac{m}{7}

The next will be; x *  (\frac{m}{7})^2

The nth term will be x *  (\frac{m}{7})^{n-1}

For each of the successive terms to be less than the previous term;

then \frac{m}{7} must be a proper fraction;

This implies that:

0 < m < 7

<em>Where 7 is the denominator</em>

<em>The sets of </em>0 < m < 7<em> is </em>\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}<em> and their are 6 items in this set</em>

<em>Hence, there are 6 possible integer</em>

A coin is tossed and an eight​-sided die numbered 1 through 8 is rolled. Find the probability of tossing a head and then rolling
ratelena [41]

Answer: 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is calculated by number of possible outcomes/ total outcomes

From the question, a coin only has two sides, Head or Tail. Total outcomes is therefore equal to 2

Possible outcome is to toss a head, which is one event

Probability of tossing a head is therefore =1/2

The second part of the question is rolling a die with eight sides.

Here, the die is said to have eight sides, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. Total outcomes is therefore equal to 8

Possible outcome of rolling a number greater than 5 is 3 possibilities, that is rolling 6, 7 and 8.

Pr(rolling > 5) is 3/8

Therefore, Pr ( head; rolling > than 5)

= 1/2 + 3/8

=7/8

I hope this is clear, please mark as brainliest answer
