Answer:

i think it would be 5:9

Step-by-step explanation:

Change values to whole numbers.

Convert any decimal numbers to integers by multiplying both sides by 101 = 10 to eliminate all, 1, decimal places.

We then have:

2.5 : 4.5 = 25 : 45

Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).

The GCF of 25 and 45 is 5

Divide both terms by the GCF, 5:

25 ÷ 5 = 5

45 ÷ 5 = 9

The ratio 25 : 45 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 5 :

25 : 45 = 5 : 9

Therefore:

2.5 : 4.5 = 5 : 9

A bank teller knows that she received 34 dimes and nickels from a customer. If the change totaled $2.05, how many dimes and nick

ivanzaharov [21]

D = # of dimes
n= # of nickles

d + n = 34 so d = 34 - n
.10d + .05n = 2.05

substitute d = 34 - n into .10d + .05n = 2.05

.10d + .05n = 2.05
.10( 34 - n) + .05n = 2.05
3.4 - .1n + .05n = 2.05
-.05n = -1.35
n = 27

d = 34 - n
d = 34 - 27
d = 7

answer

<span>she received 7 dimes and 27 nickels</span>

Nina Milling assembles transistor radios. she is paid $0.54 for each radio assembled during a regular work week, $0.62 for each

Inessa [10]

Answer:

I would need to know the number of radios she made each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

lets say she assembled 2 radios a day, which means we would do 0.54 x 2 (that would be 1.08) and then times it by 6 ***not incuding sunday***

you would get $6.48

then for sunday we would do 0.62 x 2 (that would be 1.24) .

now we add 6.48 and 1.24 to get $7.72 a week.
