Answer:

Callie needs to hide both her and her brother's candy from him so that none is eaten/stolen.  Then count each stash separately.  Put the candies in groups of 10 to quickly establish that over 70 pieces were collected.  Callie should steal a stack from her brother's pile while he's not looking.  Just calmly shift one stack of ten candies to her side.  She should announce she got 47 pieces and her brother only 32.

Ksju [112]

Answer:

9 hours, 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

When two ferries work together, they transport a day's cargo in 7 hours

The speed proportion or ratio of larger ferry to smaller ferry is given as 3 : 1

The sum of the ratio = 4 (3 + 1)

This means that it will take the smaller ferry = 7 x 4 hours to work alone = 28 hours, since the larger ferry is faster by 3.

Therefore, when larger ferry works alone, it will take it (7 x 4)/3 = 9.33 hours.

9.33 hours = 9 hours, 20 minutes.

The point nearest to the origin on a line is at (4, -4). Find the standard form of the equation of the line.
Scrat [10]

Just did a specific one of these; let's do the general case.


The point nearest the origin is (a,b).


The line from the origin through the point is


bx - ay = 0


The line we seek is perpendicular to this one. We swap the coefficients on x and y, negating one, to get the perpendicular family of lines. We set the constant by plugging in the point (a,b):


ax + by = a^2 + b^2


ax + by -( a^2 + b^2) = 0


That's standard form; let's plug in the numbers:


4 x - 4 y - 32 = 0


x - y - 8 = 0

You have total coins for a total of $. . You only have quarters and dimes. Let represent the number of quarters and represent th
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Quarters = 41

Dimes = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Coins = 59

Worth = \$12.05

d = dimes

q = quarters

Required

The number of each coin

The total coins can be represented as:

d + q = 59

1\ quarter = \$0.25 \\ 1\ dime = \$0.10

So, the worth of the coin is:

0.25q + 0.10d = 12.05

The equations to solve are:

0.25q + 0.10d = 12.05

d + q = 59

Make d the subject in: d + q = 59

d =59 - q

Substitute d =59 - q in 0.25q + 0.10d = 12.05

0.25q + 0.10(59 - q) = 12.05

0.25q + 5.9 - 0.10q = 12.05

Collect like terms

0.25q  - 0.10q = 12.05 - 5.9

0.15q = 6.15

Solve for q

q=\frac{6.15}{0.15}

q=41

Substitute q=41 in d =59 - q

d = 59 - 41

d = 18

So:

Quarters = 41

Dimes = 18
