Response:

$0.75 worth of nickels

Step-by-step breakdown:

$1.40 - $0.65 = $0.75

Response:

9 Nickels

Step-by-step breakdown:

Let n represent the number of nickels and d represent the dimes

d + n = 20 -----------(1)     [ total number of coins 20 ]

Dimes = $0.10

Nickels = $0.05

0.1d + 0.05n = $1.40 ---------- (2)         [20 coins worth $1.40]

Since d + n = 20

Therefore n = 20 - d

Now substituting n into equation (2)

0.1d + 0.05(20-d) = 1.40

0.1d + 1 - 0.05d  = 1.40

0.1d + 0.05d = 1.40 - 1

0.05d = 0.4

d = \frac{0.4}{0.05}

d = 8

Now substituting the value of d in equation (1)

n + 8 = 20

n = 20 - 8

n = 12

Now verifying: 8(0.1) + 12(0.05)  = $1.40

Now she has spent 65 cents with the total using 8 coins.

The only combination of 8 coins adding up to $0.65 consists of

5d + 3n = $0.65

Consequently, she used 5 dimes and 3 nickels.

Now she has 12 - 3 = 9 Nickels

The bar graph shows the numbers of reserved campsites at a campground for one week. What percent of the reservations were for Fr
Svet_ta [11257]

Answer:

66\frac{2}{3} \%

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the attached bar graph.

The bar graph illustrates the count of reserved campsites at a campground across a week.

Consequently, the total number of reserved campsites on Friday and Saturday will amount to (26 + 30) = 56.

Now, calculating the total reservations from Monday to Sunday gives us (5 + 3 + 4 + 7 + 26 + 30 + 9) = 84.

Therefore, the percentage of bookings for Friday and Saturday will be

\frac{56}{84} \times 100\% = \frac{200}{3}\% = 66\frac{2}{3}\%. (Answer)

Explain why the following expression is false. |x| < -4
Zina [11029]

Step-by-step explanation:

When a negative number is placed within a modulus function, the result will be positive. For instance, |-3| equals 3, |-6| equals 6, and |5| equals 5, etc.

A modulus function, expressed as |x|, is always positive unless x is zero, in which case it equals zero.

Consequently, |x| cannot be less than -4 because |x| is always non-negative. Thus, the statement is inaccurate.

PIT_PIT [10955]
To determine how many 3/64 gallon servings can be filled from a total of 2/3 gallon of punch, perform the division of 2/3 by 3/64. The outcome is not a whole number, but this method illustrates the solution. Vinny's total is 2/3 of a gallon of punch, with each guest receiving a measure of 3/64 gallon, which tells us how many can be accommodated by performing<span> (2/3) / (3/64).</span>

There is a safety fence around a circular pool with a gate. The gate is 150 cm wide. What is the length of the fence not includi
zzz [10799]

Response:

The fence's length is expressed as 6.28x - 150 cm.

Detailed Breakdown:

Assuming the circular pool has a radius (r) of x cm.

As the pool is circular, its circumference represents the length of the fence. Additionally, subtracting the 150 cm for the gate gives us the actual length of the fence.

Length of fence = Circumference of pool – gate's width.

Length of fence = 2 π r – 150

Length of fence = 2 × 3.14 × x – 150

Therefore, the fence length is 6.28x – 150 cm.

A random sample of 16 students selected from the student body of a large university had an average age of 25 years and a standar
PIT_PIT [10955]

Answer:

The P-value ranges between 2.5% and 5% according to the t-table.

Step-by-step explanation:

A random sample of 16 students from a large university showed an average age of 25 years with a standard deviation of 2 years.

Let \mu = true average age of all students at the university.

So, the Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \leq 24 years {indicating the average age is less than or equal to 24 years}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu > 24 years {indicating the average age is significantly greater than 24 years}

Here we employ the One-sample t-test statistics as the population's standard deviation is unknown;

                              T.S. = \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample average age = 25 years

             s = sample standard deviation = 2 years

             n = sample size = 16

This gives us the test statistics = \frac{25-24}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{16} } } ~ t_1_5

                                     = 2

The value of the t-test statistics is 2.

Moreover, the P-value of the test-statistics can be found as follows;

P-value = P(t_1_5 > 2) = 0.034 {as per the t-table}

Thus, the P-value lies between 2.5% and 5% based on the t-table.
