9514 1404 393

Answer:

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the two lengths is more than 1/2, so their sum will be more than 1.

  8/12 > 6/12

 7/8 > 4/8

(8/12) +(7/8) > (6/12) +(4/8) = 1/2 + 1/2 = 1

8/12 + 7/8 > 1

The total length of wire is greater than 1 foot, so Sam and Lou have enough for the project.

_____

If that sort of estimate doesn't work for you, then you can add the numbers to see what their total is.

  8/12 +7/8 = 16/24 +21/24 = 37/24 = 1 13/24 > 1

A woman has twice as many dimes as quarters in her purse. If the dimes were quarters and the quarters were dimes, she would have
Digiron [165]
If x = # of quarters, then, the # of dimes will be equal to 2x. The total value (z) would be equal to:

z = 0.25x + 0.10(2x)

Then, since you switch the quarters and the dimes, and you have a new total, the resulting equation will be:

1.2 + z  = 0.25(2x) + 0.10(x)

Plug in the values you know:

1.2 + (0.25x + 0.10(2x)) = 0.25(2x) + 0.10(x)

Solve for x:

1.2 + (0.25x + 0.20x) = 0.50x + 0.10x
1.2 + 0.45x = 0.60x
1.2 = 0.15x
x = 1.2/0.15 = 8

This means that there are 8 Quarters in her bag right now. So, the amount of dimes is just 2x which is 16. So your answer will be:

She has 8 Quarters and 16 Dimes in her bag right now. Or, $3.60.

If this doesn't make sense, then tell me. I have some resources where I got the answer from to put it into simplest terms. I have the website if you want.
