There is another way to solve the question without using the equation. Since B is twice old as C and age cannot be in fraction, therefore age of B will be always even number. So you can easily eliminate choices (B) (C) and (E). Now if you choose (A), then B = 10, A = 12 and C = 5 Total = 27 Choose (...

1 quarter = 25 cents
1 dime = 10 cents
1 nickel = 5 cents

So, total you have collect 70 cents using 6 coins.

So you need 4 nickels + 2 quarter to make 70 cents. None other combination is possible.

Choose answer as 4.

The second step is wrong.

let 50 be total number of students

50*3/5 = 30 - so 30 students live on campus dormitory.
20*1/10 = 2 - so 2 students live in a university-owned apartment.

Remaining students = 18

= 18/50
= 9/25 should be the answer.

For, second thing, we need the either the plural subject or something that agrees with the verb EVALUATE Since the subject [ind...

Is the probability of a person to have born in a leap year is 1/4?? If so, please explain? No. It's not. Reason: Since the duration of a solar year is slightly less than 365.25 days, so years that are evenly divisible by 100 are not leap years, unless they are also evenly divisible by 400, in which...
