Answer:

Amanda has 17 quarters and 8 dimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved using a system of equations and the substitution method. Let 'q' be the number of quarters and 'd' be the number of dimes. We know that the amount of dimes and quarters is $5.15 or: 0.1d + 0.25q = 5.15. We also know that there are 8 more quarters than dimes: q = d + 8. Substituting the expression 'd+ 8' into the first equation will help us solve for 'd': 0.1d + 0.25(d +8) = 5.15. Using distributive property and inverse operations, we can solve for d: 0.1d + 0.25d + 2 = 5.15 or 0.35d = 3.15 or d = 9. Since we now know there are 9 dimes, we can solve for 'q': q = 9 + 8 = 17.

A right triangle has sides of lengths 18 , 24 , and 30 units. What is the area of the triangle? Draw the shape on a grid to h

Answer:216

Step-by-step explanation:The formula to find the area of a triangle is Length times Base divided by 2. The length of the triangle could be 18 or 24, but that doesn’t matter. The base could also be 18 or 24, but that also doesn’t matter, because the hypotenuse (the longest part of a right triangle, in this case being 30), is not a part of the formula. 18 times 24 is 432, and 432 divided by 2 is 216. So the area is 216
