The coins differ in value by 5¢, so swapping the numbers of them will change the value by 5¢ for each unit difference in the numbers of coins. Since
40¢ = 8 * 5¢
there must be 8 more dimes than nickels.

There are (22 +8)/2 = 15 dimes and 7 nickels.

_____
You could write some equations for this problem. Let n, d represent numbers of nickels and dimes.
.. n +d = 22
.. 10d +5n - (10n +5d) = 40 . . . . . . . cents
.. 5(d -n) = 40 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . reversing the coin count changes the total by 5 cents for each unit of difference (d -n), as stated above.
.. d -n = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide the preceding equation by 5
Adding this last equation to the first gives
.. 2d = 22 +8
.. d = 30/2 = 15
.. n = 22 -15 = 7
There are 15 dimes and 7 nickels.

Which of the following sets of numbers could be the lengths of the sides of a triangle?
kicyunya [14]

Answer is C. 8, 3, 6

To answer this, you must know the Triangle Inequality Theorem.

The two shortest sides when added together, must be greater than the longest side.

A. 2 + 4= 6 which can't work since it equals the longest side of 6

B. 4 +2=6 The sum would be less than 8, which doesn't work

C. 6 +3 = 9 the sum is greater than 8, which makes it a triangle

D. 3 +8 = 11 11 is less than 12

2/3A=-24 <br><br> this the last one that I need help on.
pychu [463]
You can answer this question in numerous ways but one simple way is by multiplying fractions. 

<span>2/3 of 24 is also 2/3 of 24/1 </span>
<span>To get the answer, you must multiply 2/3 by 24/1 </span>

<span>To do this, you multiply the numerator (the top number) by the other numerator. That is, 2 x 24 . The answer is 48. </span>

<span>Then, multiply the denominators (the bottom numbers) by each other. That is, 3 x 1. The answer is 3. </span>

<span>The answer is 48/3. But you must continue simplifying. </span>

<span>What is 48 divided by 3? 16. </span>

<span>If you do not understand it that way, think of it in a simpler way. </span>

<span>Say there are 24 slices of pieces. </span>

<span>What is one third of those 24 slices? </span>

<span>24 divided by 3 = 8. </span>

<span>Now you want TWO thirds. So all you do is multiply 8 by 2. </span>

<span>That gives you 16.
