Q. Isaiah has n n nickels and d d dimes. He has at least $1 \$ 1 worth of coins altogether. Write this situation as an inequality.\newlineAnswer:
  1. Calculate Coin Values: First, we need to express the value of the nickels and dimes in terms of dollars. A nickel is worth $0.05\$0.05 and a dime is worth $0.10\$0.10. Isaiah has nn nickels and dd dimes, so the total value of the nickels is $0.05n\$0.05n and the total value of the dimes is $0.10d\$0.10d.
  2. Write Inequality: Now, we can write an inequality to represent the situation where the total value of the coins is at least $1\$1. The inequality will be the sum of the value of the nickels and the value of the dimes being greater than or equal to 11 dollar.
  3. Form Inequality: The inequality is 0.05n+0.10d≥10.05n + 0.10d \geq 1.
  4. Check for Errors: To check for any math errors, we can consider if the units on both sides of the inequality match and if the coefficients for nn and dd correctly represent the values of nickels and dimes. Since both sides are in dollars and the coefficients are correct, there are no math errors.
