The total number of coins is 9. Therefore  
  p+n+d = 9                (1)
There are two fewer nickels than dimes. Therefore
  n = d - 2                  (2)
From (1) and (2), obtain
p+(d-2)+d = 9
p + 2d = 11                
p = 11 - 2d                                           (3)
Total value:
0.01p + 0.05n + 0.10d = 0.53             (4)
Substitute (2) and (3) into (4).
0.01(11-2d) + 0.05(d-2) + 0.10d = 0.53
0.11 - 0.02d + 0.05d - 0.10 + 0.10d = 0.53
0.03d + 0.01 = 0.53
0.13d = 0.52
d = 4
p = 11 - 2d = 11 - 8 = 3
Answer: 3 pennies

suppose that a company claims that its boxes of breakfast cereal contain 15 ounces of cereal on average, with a standard deviati
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer: 15 ounces


Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a company claims the average cereal in boxes of breakfast cereal = 15 ounces

And we know that the mean amount is nothing but the average amount of any data.

Mean is synonym word of average .

The statistical mean is the mean or average that is used to find the central tendency of the data in any question.

Thus, the expected mean amount of cereal per box = 15 ounces.

Patty is using a cylinder shape container to hold 48 in³ of liquid. The height of the container is 6 inches tall. What is the be
Sati [7]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cylinder = πr2h

height =6 inches

r is the radius of the cylindrical container

48 in3 =πr2 * 6

6= πr2

π= 22/7

6*7/22=r2

42/22 =r2

21/11=r2

r2= 21/11

r = SQRT(21/11)

r= 1.38169855942

Find the dimensions of the rectangle with area 289 square inches that has minimum perimeter, and then find the minimum perimeter
nalin [4]
 <span>To minimize the perimeter you should always have a square. 
sqrt(289) = 17 
The dimensions should be 17 X 17 

To see , try starting at length 1, and gradually increase the length. 
The height decreases at a faster rate than the length increases, up until you reach a square. 

Or if you want to use algebra, Say the width is 17-x 
Then the length is 289/(17-x) 

Now, this is bigger than 17+x, as shown here: 
289/(17-x) > 17+x 
289 > 289 - x^2 
which is true. 
so the perimeter would be bigger than 2 * (17- x + 17 + x) = 2 * (2 * 17) = 4 * 17 

Again, the dimensions should be a square. 17 X 17.</span>
