Suppose you have 20 coins that total $3.00. Some coins are nickels and some are quarters. Which of the following pairs of equati

ons would you use to find out how many of each coin you have?
A. n + q = 30
5n + 25q = 20
B. n + q = 30
n + q = 3.00
C. n + q = 3.0020
0.05n + 0.25q = 3.00
D. n + q = 20
5n + 25q = 300

Answer: D. n + q = 20

5n + 25q = 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number of nickels that you have.

Let q represent the number of quarters that you have.

Suppose you have 20 coins. It means that

n + q = 20

The total value of the coins is $3. The value of a quarter is $0.25 and the value if a nickel is $0.05. Therefore, the equation would be

0.05n + 0.25q = 3

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 100, it becomes

5n + 25q = 300

The correct option is

D. n + q = 20

5n + 25q = 300

If the odds of catching the flu among individuals who take vitamin C is 0.0342 and the odds of catching the flu among individual

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Correct option (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of an individual catching a flu when he or she has taken vitamin C is, P (F|C) = 0.0342.

The probability of an individual catching a flu when he or she has not taken vitamin C is, P (F|C') = 0.2653.

Th ratio of individuals who caught the flu when they did not take vitamin C to those who took vitamin C is:

$=\frac{P(F|C')}{P(F|C)}\\ =\frac{0.2653}{0.0342} \\=7.7573$

This implies that:

$P(F|C')=7.7573\times P(F|C)$

Thus, the the individuals not taking vitamin C are 7.7573. Times more likely to catch the flu than individuals taking vitamin C.

The statement is True.

Tom went on a bike to the store 3 miles away. If it took Tom 1/2 of an hour to get there and 2/3 of an hour to get back , what w

anastassius [24]

Answer:

5.14 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average speed, we simply find the total distance traveled by Tom and divide that by the total time the entire journey took him.

Average speed = (total distance traveled) / (total time taken)

TOTAL DISTANCE TRAVELED

He traveled 3 miles to and 3 miles fro. Hence:

3 + 3 = 6 miles

TOTAL TIME TAKEN

He spent ½ hr to go and ⅔ hr to return back. Hence:

½ + ⅔ = 7/6 hr

Therefore, the average speed is:

v = 6 / (7/6)

v = 36 / 7 = 5.14 mi/h

Tom's average speed was 5.14 mi/h.

Given that Ray E B bisects ∠CEA, which statements must be true? Select three options. m∠CEA = 90° m∠CEF = m∠CEA + m∠BEF m∠CEB =

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Here is the question attached with.

$m\angle CEA =90 \ (deg)$

$m\angle BEF=135\ (deg)$

$\angle CEF$ is a straight line.

$\angle AEF$ is a right angled triangle.

Options $1,4,5,6$ are correct answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒As $\ ray\ AE$ is ⊥ $FEC$ so it will forms right angled triangle then $m\angle CEA =90\ (deg)$ .

⇒Measure of $\angle BEF =135\ (deg)$ as $\angle BEF =\angle AEB +\angle AEF = (45+90)=135\ (deg)$ as $\angle AEB$ is the bisector of $\angle AEC$ ,meaning that $\angle AEB$ is half of $\angle AEC$ so $\angle AEB = 45\ (deg)$ .

⇒ $\angle CEF$ is a straight line as the angles measure over it is $180\ (deg)$ .

⇒Measure of $\angle AEF = 90\ (deg)$ from linear pair concept.

As $\angle CEA + \angle AEF = 180\ (deg)$ ,plugging the values of $m\angle CEA =90\ (deg)$ we have $\angle AEF = 90\ (deg)$ .

The other two options are false as:

$m\angle CEF=m\angle CEA + m\angle BEF = (90+135)=225$

it is exceeding $180\ (deg)$ whereas $\angle CEF$ is a

straight line.

And $m\angle CEB=2(m\angle CEA)$ is not true.

As $\angle CEA = 90\ (deg)$ and $\angle CEB=45\ (deg)$

So we have total $4$ answers.

The correct options are $1,4,5,6$ .
