1.55 / 1 = x / 3.5....$ 1.55 to 1 lb = $ x to 3.5 lbs
first one <==
it could have also been : 1 / 1.55 = 3.5 / x...but that is not an answer choice
Answer:
The value of x is 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that triangle MRN is created when an equilateral triangle is folded in half.
It means original equilateral is triangle MNO and NR is a perpendicular bisector (<em>A line which cuts a line segment into two equal parts at 90°</em>).
The side length of the triangle is
NO = NS + SM = 6 + 2 = 8
Since an equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are equal and NR is a perpendicular bisector, therefore
RM = MO/2 = 8/2 = 4
The value of x is 4.
To solve for x, you must first understand how the median was calculated out of the given set of numbers. Without looking at the given median value, we can see that we cannot get the median by process of elimination since there are an even amount of numbers in this particular set. Therefore, we must average the two closest values to what should be the median.
In this case, the values are "45" and "x". If we pretend that we know the value of the variable "x" (for example we will pretend that x is 55), then we should have an equation that looks like this: (45+55) ÷ 2 = [median]. What this equation is doing is adding the two closest values to the median (45 and 55) and dividing it by 2, the number of values we are averaging. Now we can solve this equation and simplify it to 100 ÷ 2 which is 50, our median.
So if they give us the median instead of the x value, then we can rewrite the equation to fit your request: (45+x) ÷ 2 = 51. Now we can solve for x:
1. Multiply by 2
(45+x) = 102
2. Subtract 45
x = 57
The x value for your question is 57.

Answer:
q = 108-n
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: 108 coins containing only quarters and nickels
q = 108-n
since total number of coins is 108, and n= number of nickels
If you want to know how many of each kind of coin, read on:
First solve the number of quarters and nickels.
If all 108 coins are quarters, the value is 108*0.25 = $27
Since this value exceed the actual by 27-21 = $6,
we replace a number of quarters by nickels.
Each replacement will reduce the value by 25 - 5 = 20 cents = 0.2 dollars.
So it will take 6/0.2 = 30 replacements.
Therefore there are 108-35 = 78 quarters and 30 nickels.
