Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

  • Kent has a collection of pennies and nickels with a value of 1.98$.
  • The number of pennies he has is five less than twice the number of nickels.  

1. Let p be the number of pennies

and n be the number of nickles

2. Then, p=2n-5

1 pennie=$0.01

1 nickle=$0.05

0.01p+0.05n=1.98

Multiplying both sides by 100,we get

p+5n=198

3. Putting p=2n-5 in p+5n=198,we get

2n-5+5n=198

7n=198+5

7n=203

n=29

Putting value of n in p=2n-5, we get

p=2×29-5

p= 58-5

p= 53

Hence, Number of pennies=53

and number of nickle=29

Viefleur [7K]

Since there are 6 students out of which one needs to be selected, the principal chose two die on which there are six numbers each numbered from 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Since there are two dice, the total possible outcome is 36.

Hence, the probability of getting one number each is 1/36

Hence, the principal used a fair method because each result is an equally likely possible outcome.

Option B is correct.

A rectangle’s width is 2 meters shorter than its length, l. Its area is 168 square meters. Which equation can be used to find th
Dmitry [639]
The area (A) of the triangle is the product of its length (l) and width (w). A = l x w. Since the width is 2 m shorter than the length, it may be expressed as w = l -2. The equation for area becomes,
                          A = l x (l - 2)
Substituting the known area and rearranging the equation gives,
                           l(l - 2) = 168.

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

£29.37

Step-by-step explanation:

→ First step is to find the amount of hours it takes for 5 builders

\frac{3*\frac{11}{2} }{5} =\frac{33}{2} /5=\frac{33}{2} *\frac{1}{5} =\frac{33}{10} =3\frac{3}{10}

→ Now we know how long 5 builder takes we need to multiply the hourly rate by their time worked

3\frac{3}{10} *8.90=\frac{33}{10} *8.90=3.3*8.90 = 29.37
