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

Using the together rate, it is found that it will take 18 hours for Erick to build the garden box himself.

<h3>What is the together rate?</h3>

The together rate is given by the sum of each separate rate.

In this problem, the rates are given as follows:

  • Eric's: 1/x.
  • Drew's: 2/x.
  • Together: 1/6.

Hence:

\frac{1}{x} + \frac{2}{x} = \frac{1}{6}

\frac{3}{x} = \frac{1}{6}

x = 18.

Hence, it will take 18 hours for Erick to build the garden box himself.
