Answer:

160

Step-by-step explanation:

In math, the word of means multiply. :)

3/8 * 640 = 240, so there are 240 1p coins.

there are the same number of 5P coins, so there are 240 5p.

640 - 1p - 5p = 2p

640-240-240 = 160, so there are 160 2p coins.

Answer:

40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of minutes it would take colleen to finish the job when he is working alone. Hence, it can be represented by the equation:

$\frac{1}{c}+\frac{1}{c+20} =\frac{1}{24} \\\\Finding\ the\ L.C.M\ of\ the\ fraction\ to\ get\ 24c(c+20)\ as\ the\ L.C.M.\\Multiply\ the\ whole\ equation\ by\ 24c(c+20):\\\\\frac{1}{c}(24c(c+20))+\frac{1}{c+20}(24c(c+20)) =\frac{1}{24}(24c(c+20)) \\\\24c+480+24c=c^2+20c\\\\48c+480=c^2+20c\\\\c^2+20c-48c-480=0\\\\c^2-28c-480=0$
