Answer:

The two linear equation

x + y = 19.... Equation 1

0.55x + 0.75y = 12.65... Equation 2

Nedra purchased

9 Apples and 11 Oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

Nedra purchased apples and oranges at the grocery store. which two linear equations can be used to find the number of apples and oranges?

Let the number of apples be represented by x

The number of oranges by represented by y.

Hence,

Apples are $0.55 each and oranges are $0.75 each. If she spent a total of $12.65 for 19 pieces of fruit,

Hence:

x + y = 19..... Equation 1

x = 19 - y

$0.55 × x + $0.75 × y = $12.65

0.55x + 0.75y = 12.65.....Equation 2

Hence: we substitute 19 - y for x in Equation 2

0.55(19 - y) + 0.75y = 12.65

10.45 - 0.55y + 0.75y = 12.65

-0.55y+ 0.75y = 12.65 - 10.45

0.20y = 2.2

y = 2.2/0.20

y = 11 oranges

x = 19 - y

x = 19 - 11

x = 8 Apples

John has 2456 pennies in his coin collection he has the same number of pennies in each of the three boxes estimate to the neares
Keith_Richards [23]
If I read correctly, 2456 pennies needs to be divided simply by 3 then rounded to the nearest hundredth. So you would do 2456/3 3 goes into 24 how many times? Then 3 goes into 5 how many times, then continue the pattern. Once you've gotten a decimal to the thousandth, round the number to the hundredth and there you go

An individual head of a sprinkler system covers a circular area of grass with a radius of 25 feet. the yard has 3 sprinkler head
frutty [35]

Answer:

Option D. 5890.5 feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

An individual head of a sprinkler system covers a circular are of grass with a radius of 25 feet.

Yard has three sprinkler heads that each cover circular area with no overlap.

We have to calculate the approximate area watered by these 3 sprinkler heads.

Area covered by one sprinkler = π×r² = π×(25)² = 625π feet²

Therefore area covered by three sprinkler heads = 3 × 625π = 5892.85 feet²

which matches the approximate value of Option D. 5890.5 feet²

Divide 54 into two parts so that four times the greater equals five time the less​
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
Let the both the parts be 'x' and 'y'
x>y
We know that 4x = 5y
so x = 5y/4
x + y = 54
Replacing x we get
(5y/4) + y = 54
(5y +4y)/4 = 54
9y = 216
y = 24
Replacing y in ' x+y = 54'
we get x = 30

Hence the larger part is 30 whereas the smaller part is 24
