Answer:x=40
Step-by-step explanation:
To find this
8 times the reciprocal of a number
We get
Assume the number is x
8×1/x=2×1/10
8/x=2/10
8/x=1/5
Cross multiply
x=40
34.5=4h+7c
(34.5-7c)/4=h
Put h= (34.5-7c)/4 into another equation
30.5=8h+3c
30.5=2(34.5-7c)+3c
30.5=69-14c+3c
11c=38.5
c=38.5/11
Put c=38.5/11 into one of the equations
to calculate the h.
I’m not great at math so I could easily be wrong, but
I divided the 18.24 millimeters by 12 pennies and got 1.52
So if the pennies are all the same size, each penny should 1.52 millimeters.
To show work:
18.24/12=1.52
It would be 26.6 as the answer
