Answer: 2 markers.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You know that she gives 12 markers to Mr. Cooke, then the rest among is:
29 markers-12 markers=17 markers
2. She divides the rest among 5 other teachers and each one of them get the same number of markers. So, you need to divide 17 markers by 5 teachers as following:
17 markers/5=3.4 markers
3. But the number of marker each one teacher has can't be a decimal number, so this number must be: 3 markers for each teacher.
3. The number of markers that will be left over is:
17 markers-(5*3 markers)=2 markers
First the distributive property actually means "to share"
Second here's how you do it ...
the two numerators are multiplied , same with the denominator
4 x 10 and 25 x 1
this gets you 40/25 as an improper fraction but here is the simplified answer
1 3/5
Hope this help you with this problem!
Answer:
37 dimes and 10 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
let d = # dimes
let n = # nickels
we can set up a system of equations:
n + d = 47
.05n + .10d = 4.2
if we solve the first equation for 'n' we get:
n = 47-d
now we can substitute this in for 'n' in the second equation:
.05(47-d) + .10d = 4.2
2.35 - .05d + .10d = 4.2
2.35 + .05d = 4.2
subtract 2.35 from each side to get:
.05d = 1.85
d = 1.85÷.05
d = 37
if d+n = 47 and d=37 then n = 10
Check:
.05(10) + .1(37) should equal 4.2
.50 + 3.7 = 4.2 [It Checks Out]
