Answer:

180 coins

Explanation:

N = number of nickels (no nickels spent)

D = number of dimes initially saved

D' = number of dimes left after spending

1) N = D + 43

2) D' = D - 17

3) N = 2*D' = 2*(D - 17)

Set equations 1) and 3) equal to each other and solve for D:

D + 43 = 2*(D - 17)

D + 43 = 2*D - 34

D = 43 + 34 = 77

N = D + 43 = 77 + 43 = 120 nickels left

D' = D - 17 = 77 - 17 = 60 dimes left

Total coins left = 120 + 60 = 180 coins (I hope this is not too confusing for you)

Leah has The flowers shown she wants to put them in 4 vases with the same number in each case how many flowers does she need to
dsp73

Answer:

The solution is obtained by dividing the number of flowers by the number of vases.

Step-by-step explanation:

The story problem is very straightforward. Normally, you need to read the problem and understand it.

Let's look at the question again.

Although we do not have all the quantities, we can still show how to solve the problem.

Let x be the total  number of flowers.

There are 4 vases.

Therefore, the number of flowers in each vase will be:

x/4

Flow the same rule for similar problems.

Whats the answer to that question?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

-0.9090... can be written as \frac{10}{11}.

Explanation:

Any <em>repeating </em>decimal can be written as a fraction by dividing the section of the pattern to be repeated <em>by </em>9's.

We can start by listing out

0.909090... = 9/10 + 0/100 + 9/1000 + 0/10000 + 9/100000 + 0/1000000 + ...

Now. we let this series be equal to x, that is

x = 9/10 + 0/100 + 9/1000 + 0/10000 + 9/100000 + 0/1000000 + ...

Now, we'll multiply both sides by 100 .

100x = 90 + 0 + 9/10 + 0/100 + 9/1000 + 0/10000 + ...

Then, subtract the 1st equation from the second like so:

100x = 90 + 0 + 9/10 + 0/100 + 9/1000 + 0/10000 + 9/100000 + 0/1000000 + ...

-x = - 9/10 - 0/100 - 9/1000 - 0/10000 - 9/100000 - 0/1000000 - ...

And we end up with this:

99x=90

Finally, we divide both sides by 99 in order to isolate x and get the fraction we're looking for.

x=\frac{90}{99}

Which can be reduced and simplified to

x=\frac{10}{11}

Hope this helps!
