Answer:

4 coins

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find out how much she gave the teller:

2($20)=$40

Now, let's find out how much change the teller owes her:

$40.00-$39.63=$0.37 or 37 cents

The largest coin (under 37 cents), is a quarter which is worth 25 cents...

37-25=12 cents

The largest coin (under 12 cents), is a dime which is worth 10 cents...

12-10=2

The largest coin (under 2 cents), is a penny which is worth 1 cent...

2-1=1

And one more penny...

1-1=0

Therefore the fewest amount of coins she can get in change are a quarter, a dime, and two pennies, which is 4 coins.

A zookeeper weighed an African elephant to be 9x10^3 pounds and an African lion to be 4x10^2 pounds. How many times greater is t

maria [59]

Answer: 22.5 . The weight of the elephant is "22.5 times greater" than the weight of the lion.
_________________________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________________________

(weight of lion) * (x) = (eight of the elephant) ; Solve for "x" .
_____________________________________________________
→ Divide each side of the equation by "(weight of lion)" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "x" ;
_________________________________________________________

→ (weight of lion)*(x) / (weight of lion) = (weight of the elephant) /
(weight of lion) ;
________________________________________________________
→ x = (weight of the elephant) / (weight of lion) ;
__________________________________________________________
→ Plug in our "given values" ; and solve for "x" ;
__________________________________________________________
→ x = (<span>9*10</span>³) / (4*10²) = (9*10⁽³⁻²⁾) / 4 = (9*10¹) / 4 ;
__________________________________________________________
→ x = 90 /4 = 25/2 = 22.5 ; which is our answer.

Three rats in a lab are injected a type of medicine. The independent probabilities for each rat exhibiting side effects are 0.5,

EleoNora [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four possible values of X: 0 rats show side effects, 1 rat shows side effects, 2 rats show side effects, or all 3 rats show side effects.

Probability X = 0:

P = (1 − 0.5) (1 − 0.4) (1 − 0.3)

P = 0.21

Probability X = 1:

P = (0.5) (1 − 0.4) (1 − 0.3) + (1 − 0.5) (0.4) (1 − 0.3) + (1 − 0.5) (1 − 0.4) (0.3)

P = 0.44

Probability X = 2:

P = (0.5) (0.4) (1 − 0.3) + (0.5) (1 − 0.4) (0.3) + (1 − 0.5) (0.4) (0.3)

P = 0.29

Probability X = 3:

P = (0.5) (0.4) (0.3)

P = 0.06
