Answer:

Total number of dimes collected = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dimes collected = d

And the number of nickels collected = n

On day collection in nickels and dimes = $6.55

Since, 1 nickel = $0.05

Therefore, 'n' nickels = 0.05n

And 1 dimes = $0.10

Value of 'd' dimes = $0.10d

Total value of 'n' nickels and 'd' dimes = $(0.05n + 0.10d)

So the equation for the total value will be,

0.05n + 0.10d = 6.55

5n + 10d = 655 --------(1)

Number of nickels was 6 more than half the number of dimes.

n = \frac{d}{2} + 6 ------(2)

By substituting the value 'n' from equation (2) to equation (1)

5(\frac{d}{2} + 6) + 10d = 655

\frac{5d}{2} + 30 + 10d = 655

\frac{25d}{2} = 655 - 30

25d = 625 × 2

d = \frac{1250}{25}

d = 50

Therefore, total number of dimes collected = 50

9.42 Units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the angle shown is 90 degrees we can deduce that the rest of the arc is 270 degrees therefore we can make the fraction:

270/360; 360 being the total angle measurement of a circle

270/360 simplifies to 3/4

The fraction represents how much of the circle that arc covers

Now we have to find the circumference which would be

2(3.14)r

r = 2 therefore: 2(3.14)2 = 12.56

Now that we have the circumference of the WHOLE circle we multiply it by 3/4 to find out the arc length

Which gives us  9.42
