Answer: 22.5 . The weight of the elephant is "22.5 times greater" than the weight of the lion.
_________________________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________________________
(weight of lion) * (x) = (eight of the elephant) ; Solve for "x" .
_____________________________________________________
→ Divide each side of the equation by "(weight of lion)" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "x" ;
_________________________________________________________
→ (weight of lion)*(x) / (weight of lion) = (weight of the elephant) /
(weight of lion) ;
________________________________________________________
→ x = (weight of the elephant) / (weight of lion) ;
__________________________________________________________
→ Plug in our "given values" ; and solve for "x" ;
__________________________________________________________
→ x = (<span>9*10</span>³) / (4*10²) = (9*10⁽³⁻²⁾) / 4 = (9*10¹) / 4 ;
__________________________________________________________
→ x = 90 /4 = 25/2 = 22.5 ; which is our answer.

Yuto is correct because he isolated the variable correctly and reversed the inequality symbol.
x < 3
The number of dimes is 75 coins.
The number of nickels is 1 coin.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
It is given that,
A box contains 76 coins, only dimes and nickels.
- The 10 cent coin is called a dime.
- Let, the number of dimes be x.
- The 5 cent coin is called a nickel.
- Let, the number of nickels be y.
<u>This is represented by the system of equations :</u>
x + y = 76 -------(1)
10x + 5y = 4.90 ------(2)
Multiply eq (1) by 5 and subtract eq (2) from eq (1),
5x + 5y = 380
-<u>(10x + 5y = 4.90)</u>
<u>-5x = 375.1</u>
x = 375/5
x = 75 coins.
The number of dimes is 75 coins.
Substitute x=75 in eq (1),
y = 76 - 75
y = 1 coin.
The number of nickels is 1 coin.
