The time it takes for a certain object or person, in this case Georgia, to travel from one place to another is the quotient of the distance and speed. Such that the given above can be best represented by the equation below,
42 minutes = (7/8 + 5/6 + x) / 1/18
The value of x from the equation is approximately 0.625 miles.
<span>Let n = the number of nickles
Let q = the number of quarters
Then for your problem we have
(1) n + q = 43 and
(2) 5*n + 25*q = 100*6.95 (always work in cents to avoid decimal numbers) or
(3) 5*n + 25*q = 695
Now substitute n of (1) into (3) and get
(4) 5*(43 - q) + 25*q = 695 or
(5) 215 - 5*q + 25*q = 695 or
(6) 20*q = 695 - 215 or
(7) 20*q = 480 or
(8) q = 24
Then using (1) we get
(9) n + 24 = 43 or
(10) n = 19
Let's check these values.
Is (.05*19 + .25*24 = 6.95)?
Is (.95 + 6.00 = 6.95)?
Is (6.95 = 6.95)? Yes
Answer: Kevin and Randy have 19 nickles and 24 quarters in the jar.</span>
Answer:
your answer is option (c) 105
19x - 11 = 10x + 7
9x = 18
x = 2
19x - 11 = 19(2) - 11 = 27
3y + 27 = 180
3y = 153
y = 51
answer
x = 2 and y = 51
4 ÷ 25 = 0.16, so 0.16 of a gallon is used per chair. The answer lies between 0 and 1.
