Talia earns 85 cents for cans she recycles. If she gets a nickel for each can, how many cans does she recycle?

Step-by-step explanation

Hi there,

We know she gets 1 nickel for every can, and 1 nickel is just 5 cents. So we first get this set up:

     Now, we also know she gets 85 cents for a certain amount of cans, x:

    Now, we can just use the proportionality we designed above, but flip it so cans cancel out:

Thus, Talia recycles 17 cans.

answer: if you weigh 60 pounds on earth, on the moon you will weigh about 10 pounds. if you weigh 120 pounds on earth, you will weigh about 20 pounds on the moon. since weight is caused by the mass of two objects that are near each other, the bigger the objects, the more the force of gravity.

answer: (c) m∠qpo + (2x + 16)° = 180°

step-by-step explanation:

the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary.

so, ∠o + ∠q = 180°   and   ∠p + ∠r = 180°

since ∠r = 2x + 16°, we can use substitution as follows:

∠p + ∠r = 180°

∠p + (2x + 16)° = 180°
