The main idea here is to "translate" the words into maths.
First we need to identify the unknowns and label these.
We need to know the number if dimes and the number of quarters. So lets say
x: number of dimes
y: number of quarters
Now lets write equations from the written problem.
We know that there are 36 coind total, thus:
x + y = 36
We also know that the coins total 5.85 dollars, but it is better to count in cents, that is 585 cents.
x are the number of dimes, their value is x*10
y are quarters with value of y*25
thus:
10x+25y=585
We have two equations and two unknowns now, that needs to be solved to get the answer.
x + y = 36
10x+25y=585
5+16x.......................
Answer:
4(x+3)
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>to write 8 21/40 as a decimal we need to write the fraction where denominator is a power of 10.
the denominator now is 40, when we multiply 40 by 25, we get 1000.
then the denominator would be a power of 10.
lets multiply the fraction 21/40 by 25 </span>

<span> 8 21/40 is a mixed fraction made of 8 wholes and a fraction that is now 525/1000.
when dividing by 1000, the decimal point that is after 525 should move 3 decimal places to the left, then the decimal point comes before 525.
then 21/40 is equal to 0.525. since we have 8 wholes; 8 + 0.525 = 8.525</span>
Answer:
39
Step-by-step explanation:
6 * 4 is 24 so 63-24=39. so 39 students will ride on the bus. hope this helps ;)
