Question 1.
Jenna has a large jar full of pennies, nickels, and dimes. She has 100 coins. She has 20 more nickels than pennies and half as many dimes as nickels. Enter formulas in the spreadsheet to calculate the number of coins and their value.
Everyday Math Grade 6 Home Link 7.4 Answer Key 1
a. Coins: _________
b. Value of coins: _________
Answer:
a)
It is given that Jenna has a large jar full of pennies, nickels, and dimes.
It is given that
The total number of coins that Jenna possessed = 100
So,
pennies + nickels + dimes = 100
It is also given that
She has 20 more nickels than pennies
So,
nickels – pennies = 20
It is also given that
Half as many dimes as nickels
So,
dimes = \(\frac{nickels}{2}\)
Now,
Let the number of dimes be: x
So,
2 dimes + dimes + 2 dimes – 20 = 100
5 dimes – 20 = 100
5 dimes = 100 + 20
5 dimes = 120
1 dime = \(\frac{120}{5}\)
1 dime = 24
We know that,
nickels = 2 (dimes)
= 2 (24)
= 48
pennies = nickels – 20
= 48 – 20
= 28
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
The number of coins are:
Nickels: 48
Dimes: 24
Pennies: 28
b)
We know that,
1 nickel = $0.05
1 dime = $0.10
1 penny = $0.01
So,
The total value of the coins = 48 (0.05) + 24 (0.10) + 28 (0.01)
= $5.08
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the total value of the coins is: $5.08

Question 2.
To solve Problem 1a, why might you start with an even number of pennies?
Answer:
To solve problem 1a,
We might have to start with an even number of pennies because you will divide by 2 for the number of dimes, which only come in whole quantities

Question 3.
What formula would you use to find the total value of the coins?
Answer:
The formula used to find the total number of coins is:
The total number of coins = $0.05 (Number of nickels) + $0.10 (Number of dimes) + $0.01 (Number of pennies)

Question 4.

We know that,
2\(\frac{1}{4}\) = \(\frac{9}{4}\)
So,
\(\frac{9}{4}\) ÷ \(\frac{7}{8}\)
=  \(\frac{9}{4}\) × \(\frac{8}{7}\)
= \(\frac{9 × 8}{4 × 7}\)
= \(\frac{18}{7}\)
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the value of the given expression is: \(\frac{18}{7}\)

Question 7.

Everyday Mathematics Grade 6 Home Link Unit 7.5 Answers 1
Answer:
We know that,
1 hour = 60 minutes
So,
Calories/ Hour = (Calories / Minute) × 60
Calories / Minute = \(\frac{Calories / Hour}{60}\)
Hence,
The completed table for calorie usage by the sixth-grader is:

Question 2.
Kori spent 2 hours and 25 minutes doing one of the listed activities. He burned 145 calories. Which activity was he doing?
Answer:

It is given that Kori spent 2 hours and 25 minutes doing one of the listed activities from the above table
So,
Now,
2 hours 25 minutes = 2 hours + 25 minutes
= 2 (60 minutes) + 25 minutes
= 120 minutes + 25 minutes
= 145 minutes
Now,
Divide 145 minutes by using the Calories / Minute values in the above table
The value for which we will get the whole number when we divide 145 by Calories / Minute, will be the activity
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the activity doing by Kori is: Watching TV

Question 3.
Kori sleeps about 8 \(\frac{1}{2}\) hours per night and spends about 7 hours each school day eating, talking, and sitting. Does he burn more calories sleeping or at school? Explain.
Answer:

It is given that,
Kori sleeps about 8\(\frac{1}{2}\) hours per night and spends about 7 hours each school day eating
Now,
We know that,
8\(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{17}{2}\) hours
Now,
Calories / Hour obtained for sleeping for \(\frac{17}{2}\) hours = \(\frac{17}{2}\) × 42
= 357 Calories / Hour
Calories / Hour obtained for eating in school each day for 7 hours = 7 × 72
= 504 Calories / Hour
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that Kori spends more calories at school

Question 4.
On Monday Edgar ran for 29 minutes and burned 270 calories. On Wednesday he biked for 25 minutes and burned 207 calories. On Friday he played soccer for 13 minutes and burned 124 calories. Which activity burns the most calories per minute? Explain how you know.
Answer:
It is given that
On Monday Edgar ran for 29 minutes and burned 270 calories. On Wednesday he biked for 25 minutes and burned 207 calories. On Friday he played soccer for 13 minutes and burned 124 calories.
So,
The Calories / Minute burn by Edgar on Monday = \(\frac{Number of calories}{Number of Minutes}\)
= \(\frac{270}{29}\)
= 9.31 Calories / Minute
The Calories / Minute burn by Edgar on Wednesday = \(\frac{Number of calories}{Number of Minutes}\)
= \(\frac{207}{25}\)
= 8.28 Calories / Minute
The Calories / Minute burn by Edgar on Friday = \(\frac{Number of calories}{Number of Minutes}\)
= \(\frac{124}{13}\)
= 9.53 Calories / Minute
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that soccer activity burns the most Calorie / Minute

Marathon Mathematics
In 2006, Deena Kastpor set the U.S. women’s record for both the half marathon (13.1 miles) and the full marathon (26.2 miles). Her time for the half marathon was 1 hour 7 minutes 34 seconds. Her time for the full marathon was 2 hours 19 minutes 36 seconds.
Question 1.
Compare her rates (seconds per mile) for the two races.
a. Which rate was faster?
Answer:
It is given that
Deena Kastpor set the U.S. women’s record for both the half marathon (13.1 miles) and the full marathon (26.2 miles). Her time for the half marathon was 1 hour 7 minutes 34 seconds. Her time for the full marathon was 2 hours 19 minutes 36 seconds.
Now,
We have to convert the given time into seconds
We know that,
1 hour = 3600 seconds
1 minute = 60 seconds
So,
1 hour 7 minutes and 34 seconds = 1 (3600 seconds) + 7 (60 seconds) + 34 seconds
= 3600 seconds + 420 seconds + 34 seconds
= 4,054 seconds
2 hours 19 minutes and 36 seconds = 2 (3600 seconds) + 19 (60 seconds) + 36 seconds
= 7,200 seconds + 1140 seconds + 36 seconds
= 8,376 seconds
The rate at which half marathon completed (Seconds per Mile) = \(\frac{The time taken to complete half marathon in seconds}{The distance record for half marathon in miles}\)
= \(\frac{4,054}{13.1}\)
= 309 miles per second
The rate at which full marathon completed (Seconds per Mile) = \(\frac{The time taken to complete a full marathon in seconds}{The distance record for a full marathon in miles}\)
= \(\frac{8,376}{26.2}\)
= 319 miles per second
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the rate is faster for the “half marathon”

b. How much faster is her rate for that race?
Answer:
From part (a),
The rate at which the half marathon completed is: 309 miles per second
The rate at which the full marathon completed is: 319 miles per second
So,
The amount of faster rate = 319 – 309
= 10 seconds per mile
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that she ran about 10 seconds per mile faster in the half marathon

Question 2.
If Deena could run a full marathon at her half-marathon pace, how long would it take her to run the full marathon?
Answer:

Question 3.
Which record do you think would be easier to break: half marathon or full marathon? Explain.
Answer:
The half marathon record would be easier to break because it is more likely that you could increase speed for a short distance

The amount of water Ronald’s family used to wash dishes in one evening by using a high-efficiency faucet = (The time taken for hand washing the dishes by Ronald’s family) × ( The rate at which the  high-efficiency kitchen faucet runs)
= 10 minutes × 1.5 gallons per minute
= 15 gallons
Now,
The amount of water Ronald’s family used to wash dishes in one evening = (The time taken for hand washing the dishes by Ronald’s family) × ( The rate at which the kitchen faucet runs)
= 10 minutes × 2.2 gallons per minute
= 22 gallons
So,
The amount of water the family would save each time they wash their dinner dishes = 22 – 15
= 7 gallons
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
The amount of water the family would save each time they wash their dishes is: 7 gallons

b. About how much water would they save washing dinner dishes in a year (365 days)?
Answer:
From part (a),
We know that,
The amount of water the family would save each time they wash their dishes is: 7 gallons
So,
The amount of water saved by the family they wash their dishes in 365 days
= 365 × 7
= 2.555 gallons
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
The amount of water saved by the family they wash their dishes in 365 days is: 2,555 gallons

Question 3.
A high-efficiency dishwasher uses about 4 gallons of water per load. The family would run the dishwasher 4 times per week to do their dinner dishes. Should they install a high-efficiency faucet (see Problem 2) or use the dishwasher to save water? Explain.
Answer:
The amount of water Ronald’s family used to wash dishes in 7 days by using a high-efficiency faucet = (The time taken for hand washing the dishes by Ronald’s family) × ( The rate at which the  high-efficiency kitchen faucet runs)
= 10 minutes × 1.5 gallons per minute × 7
= 15 gallons × 7
= 105 gallons
The amount of water used by a high-efficiency dishwasher = (The amount of water used per load by a high-efficiency dishwasher) × ( The number of times the family would run dishwasher per week)
= 4 × 4
= 16 gallons
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that we will use the dishwasher to save the water

Question 4.
10% of n is 4; n = ________
Answer:
It is given that
10% of n is 4
So,
10% of n = 4
We know that,
1% = 0.01
So,
10% = 0.10
So,
0.10 of n = 4
0.10 × n = 4
Divide by 0.10 on both sides
So,
\(\frac{0.10}{0.10}\) × n = \(\frac{4}{0.10}\)
n = 4 ×10
n = 40
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the value of n is: 40

So,
0.30 of n = 18
0.30 × n = 18
Divide by 0.30 on both sides
So,
\(\frac{0.30}{0.30}\) × n = \(\frac{18}{0.30}\)
n = 6 ×10
n = 60
