Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The worth of a penny is 1 cent = 1/100 = $0.01
The worth of a nickel is 5 cents = 5/100 = $0.05
Let x represent the number of pennies that she could have. Lucy has some pennies and some nickels. She has a maximum of 15 coins. If lucky has 6.999999999999999, it means that
6.999999999999999 + x ≥ 15
x ≥ 15 - 6.999999999999999
x ≥ 8
If the 15 coins worth a minimum of $0.47combined, it means that
0.05(6.999999999999999) + 0.01x ≤ 0.47
0.35 + 0.01x ≤ 0.47
0.01x ≤ 0.47 - 0.35
0.01x ≤ 0.12
x ≤ 0.12/0.01
x ≤ 12
Therefore, the possible values for the number of pennies that she could have is 8 ≤ x ≤ 12
Answer:
7/30 of her music library
Step-by-step explanation:
We are looking for 7/10 of 1/3. In this case this "of" means we will multiply the two fractions. To multiply fractions, we multiply
top × top
and
bottom × bottom
1/3 × 7/10
is 1×7 on top, and
3×10 on the bottom.
= (1×7)/(3×10)
= 7/30
7/30 cannot be simplified, so that is the answer.
Answer: 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
In a stack of 24, the 2 mediums are odd and even cards in this question. This means that 1/2 the cards are even and 1/2 are odd. To get a even card once is a 1/2 chance, then to get it again is 1/2 x 1/2 chance or 1/4 chance. This is what I think.
2x + y = x/2 + 1 multiply this by -4:-
-8x - 4y = -2x - 4
4y = 2x Adding:-
-8x = -4
x = 1/2
Substitute in 4y = 2x:-
4y = 2*1/2
y = 1/4
Answer ( 1/2, 1/4)
17. On average, Nestor works 7.5 hours of overtime in 4 weeks, so works an average of 7.5/4 = 1.875 overtime hours per week.
On average, each week Nestor gets paid for 7.5×5 + 2×1.875 = 41.25 hours, so is paid*
... (41.25 h)×($7.42/h) = $306.075
Each week Rita gets paid for 8×5 + 1.5×3 = 44.5 hours, so is paid
... (44.5 h)×($7.64/h) = $339.98
Their combined earning for a week are $306.075 + 339.98 = $646.055, so over a period of 12 weeks, they are paid a total of
... (12 weeks)×($646.055/week) = $7,752.66
18. Assuming Robin is paid time and a half for overtime, she was paid for
... 40 + 1.5×6 = 49 . . . hours
Then her hourly pay was ($392/week)/(49 hours/week) = $8.00 per hour
___
* The half-cent that shows up in Nestor's average weekly pay does not actually show up in Nestor's paycheck. Here, it is an artifact of dividing his monthly hour total by 4 to get a weekly average. Nestor's total pay for any given week is whole number of cents.
