I have seen this question before and I think you meant 10 more dimes than nickels.
We can use substitution to answer this question. The value of a nickel is 5 cents, and we can use the variable n to represent the number of nickels. The value of a dime is 10 cents, and we can use the variable d to represent the number of dimes.
First lets figure out the equations.
.10d+.5n=2.80 (the number of nickels (n) multiplied by .5 will tell us their money value. Same thing for the dimes)
d-n=10 (since there are 13 more dimes than nickels, the number of dimes value (d) minus the number of nickels value (n) will give us 10)
Now lets isolate a variable in one of the equations, preferably the second one because it doesn't have any visible coefficients,
d-n=10
-n=10-d (subtracted the d from both sides)
n=-10+d (made the n positive)
Now that we have the value of n, we can plug it into the other equation.
.10d+.05n=2.80
.10d+.05(-10+d)=2.80 (we replaced the n with the value that we previously got)
.10d-.5+.05d=2.80 (did the multiplication)
.15d-.5=2.80 (combined like terms)
.15d=3.30 (added the .5 to both sides)
d=22 (divided both sides by the .15)
Now that we know that there are 22 dimes and we also know that there are 10 less nickels than dimes, so we can subtract 10 from 22 to get the number of nickels. 22-10=12
d=22
n=12
Answer:
The answer is B. He spent 3 minutes eating lunch for every 10 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
He spent stuck inside during the brainstorm for:
20+18+12+10= 60 minutes in total.
And now we want to know what he did for every 10 minutes he spent in the rainstorm. To do that we need to divide what he did for every 10 minutes by the total of minutes that he was stuck:
And now we can multiply the time of the activities by 1/6 to get the time he did each activity every 10 minutes.
Reading:
minutes reading for every 10 minutes.
Eating:
minutes eating for every 10 minutes.
Watching TV:
minutes watching TV for every 10 minutes.
Drawing:
minutes drawing for every 10 minutes.
Therefore he spent 3 minutes eating lunch for every 10 minutes.
C= Colorado B= Boston
C + B = 464
C = 1.2B
Substitute the known value of C from the second equation into the first
C + B = 464
(1.2B) + B = 464
2.2B = 464
Divide each side by 2.2
B = 210.9, rounded to 211 (it's asking for days, not partial days, so round)
If Boston has 211 days of sunshine , then Colorado Springs has 1.2 times that amount. 211 * 1.2 = 253.2 (rounded to 253)
Verification
211 + 253 = 464
10 families were asked how many pets they have.here i8s the data.2,3,3,5,4,2,4,0,1,3 find the mean ,medianand mode of the data?
VladimirAG [237]
The mean is 2.7.
The median is: 3
The mode is 3.
Hope this helps!
