Answer:

  • 39 quarters and 41 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of quarters be x and nickels be y.

<u>Given:</u>

  • Quarter is 25 cents
  • Nickel is 5 cents
  • Number of coins is 80
  • Total amount is $11.80 = 1180 cents

<u>We have equations:</u>

  • x + y = 80
  • 25x + 5y = 1180

<u>Solve the system by elimination, subtract 5 times the first equation from the second one:</u>

  • 25x + 5y - 5x - 5y = 1180 - 80*5
  • 20x = 780
  • x = 780/20
  • x = 39

<u>Find the value of y:</u>

  • 39 + y = 80
  • y = 80 - 39y = 41

<u>Verify:</u>

  • 25*39 + 5*41 = 975 + 205 = 1180

Hello everyone, I have this question. Please help me.

Answer:

7 reservoirs

Step-by-step explanation:

1 yards = 3 feet => 3.5 yards = 10.5 feet

To determine how many numbers of reservoirs to reserve 90000, we first need to determine the capacity of each reservoirs (how much liquid one reservoir can contain) - which is equal to the volume.

The formula to calculate the volume of a circular cylinder is:

  - <em>Volume of cylinder = Area of base x Height </em>

<em />

The base of this cylinder is a circle with radius equal to 4 feet. (\pi = 3.14)

=> The are of the base is = \pi *radius^{2} = 3.14 x 4^2 = 50.24 feet square

=> The volume of cylinder = Area of base x Height

=> The volume of one cylinder = 50.24 x 10.5 = 527.52 Cubic foot

We have: 1 cubic foot = 28.317 liters

=> 1 liter = 1/28.317 cubic foot

=> 90000 liters equal to: 90000/28.317 = 3,178.303 cubic foot

The number of reservoirs needed to contain 90000 liters of liquid is:

3,178.303/527.52 = 6.025

=> So that it needs 7 reservoirs to store all 90000 liters of liquid.
