Answer:
Maximum height of quarter tower = 9.6 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
The thickness of a quarter =
inches
Weight of a quarter = 1 ounce
The maximum weight that could safely hold = 3 pounds.
<u>The conversion factor for ounce to pound is 1 ounce = 0.0625 pound</u>
The number of quarter used in the tower = no of ounces equivalent to 3 pounds.
No of ounces equivalent to 3 pounds = 
No of ounces equivalent to 3 pounds = 48
So the height of quarter tower = 48 \times
inches
= 9.6 inches.
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
A can speak french
There are 10 students who can speak french, 4 girls and 6 boys
P(french) = speak french/ total
= 10/30
= 1/3
B is a boy
There are 16 boys
P (boy) = boys/total
= 16/30
8/15
C girl who can speak french
There are 4 girls who can speak french
P (girl who can speak french) = girl who can speak french/ total
=4/30
2/15
X= cost per cherry pie
y= cost per pumpkin pie
NICOLE
1x + 9y= $60
LISA
11x + 4y= $90
STEP 1
multiply Nicole's equation by -11
-11(1x + 9y)= -11($60)
multiply -11 by all terms
(-11 * x) + (-11 * 9y)= (-11 * 60)
-11x - 99y= -660
STEP 2
add Nicole's new equation from step 1 to Lisa's equation to solve for y (using the elimination method)
-11x - 99y= -660
11x + 4y= 90
the x terms "cancel out"
-95y= -570
divide both sides by -95
y= $6 per pumpkin pie
STEP 3
substitute y value into either original equation to solve for x
x + 9y= $60
x + 9(6)= 60
x + 54= 60
subtract 54 from both sides
x= $6 per cherry pie
CHECK
11x + 4y= $90
11(6) + 4(6)= 90
66 + 24= 90
90= 90
ANSWER: Each cherry pie costs $6 and each pumpkin pie costs $6.
Hope this helps! :)
