Answer:
850 leaves were on the tree initially.
Same as;
2/5 + 1/5 + 3/10 + (remaining leaves 1/10) = 1
4/10 + 2/10 + 3/10 + 1/10
10 x 85 = 850
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5 wk 1 fall off
1/5 wk 2 fell off
3/5 x 1/2 = 3/10 wk 2 stayed on tree
1/3 x 3/10 = 1/10 wk 3 stayed on
2/5 + 1/5 + 3/10 = 9/10 = 0.9 fall off in total
10/10 - 9/10 = 1/10 left on tree
1/10 = 85
10 x 85 = 850 leaves.
Answer:
Hello in order to complete this question we need the table. If you give the table I am sure you will get more helpful and accurate information
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, how do you buy exactly 15.5 pizzas?
what is a 0.5 pizza?
anyway
cost=cost per pizza times number of pizzas
cost per pizza=10.50
number of pizzas=15.5
cost=10.50 times 15.5
cost=162.75
total cost is $162.75
Multiply both sides of the second equation by 100 to get rid of the decimals:
0.05<em>n</em> + 0.10<em>d</em> = 1.50
==> 5<em>n</em> + 10<em>d</em> = 150
Multiply both sides of the first equation by -5:
<em>n</em> + <em>d</em> = 21
==> -5<em>n</em> - 5<em>d</em> = -105
Add the two equations together:
(5<em>n</em> + 10<em>d</em>) + (-5<em>n</em> - 5<em>d</em>) = 150 + (-105)
Notice that the terms containing <em>n</em> get eliminated and we can solve for <em>d</em> :
(5<em>n</em> - 5<em>n</em>) + (10<em>d</em> - 5<em>d</em>) = 150 - 105
5<em>d</em> = 45
<em>d</em> = 45/5 = 9
Plug this into either original equation to solve for <em>n</em>. Doing this with the first equation is easiest:
<em>n</em> + 9 = 21
<em>n</em> = 21 - 9 = 12
So Donna used 12 nickels and 9 dimes.
