Answer:
divide one number by another. dividend ÷ divisor = quotient.
Step-by-step explanation:
Example: in 12 ÷ 3 = 4, 4 is the quotient.
I have seen this question before and I think you meant 10 more dimes than nickels.
We can use substitution to answer this question. The value of a nickel is 5 cents, and we can use the variable n to represent the number of nickels. The value of a dime is 10 cents, and we can use the variable d to represent the number of dimes.
First lets figure out the equations.
.10d+.5n=2.80 (the number of nickels (n) multiplied by .5 will tell us their money value. Same thing for the dimes)
d-n=10 (since there are 13 more dimes than nickels, the number of dimes value (d) minus the number of nickels value (n) will give us 10)
Now lets isolate a variable in one of the equations, preferably the second one because it doesn't have any visible coefficients,
d-n=10
-n=10-d (subtracted the d from both sides)
n=-10+d (made the n positive)
Now that we have the value of n, we can plug it into the other equation.
.10d+.05n=2.80
.10d+.05(-10+d)=2.80 (we replaced the n with the value that we previously got)
.10d-.5+.05d=2.80 (did the multiplication)
.15d-.5=2.80 (combined like terms)
.15d=3.30 (added the .5 to both sides)
d=22 (divided both sides by the .15)
Now that we know that there are 22 dimes and we also know that there are 10 less nickels than dimes, so we can subtract 10 from 22 to get the number of nickels. 22-10=12
d=22
n=12
Complete question:
Kyle incorrectly says that the product of - ( - 6 ) # ( - 1 ) is 6 . 11. After a recycling awareness program, the number of tons of recyclable material taken to the landfill is reduced by 13 7/10 tons per month. Represent the total change in the tons of recyclable material taken to the landfill after 7 months resulting from the awareness program a. What is the correct product? 10 month. Represent the total change in the b. What was Kyle's likely error?
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Kyle incorrectly says that the product of - ( - 6 ) ( - 1 ) is 6
-(-6)(-1) = 6 [incorrect]
Correction:
-(-6) (-1) :
- (-6) = 6
6 (-1) = - 6
Given that reduction in materials = 13 7/10 tons per month
Monthly reduction = 13 7/10 = 137/10 tons
After 7 months : (7 * 137/10) = 959/10 tons = 95.9 tons
Change in amount of material taken to the land fill:
Initial amount - amount after 7 months
If initial amount = x
Change in amonnt = (x - 95.9) tons
