Answer:
9 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
He has 17 coins.
$1.25 is 12 dimes and 1 nickel. But that is only 13 coins.
$1.25 can only be 17 coins if there were 9 nickels and 8 dimes.
Your distance from Seattle after two hours of driving at 62 mph, from a starting point 38 miles east of Seattle, will be (38 + [62 mph][2 hr] ) miles, or 162 miles (east).
Your friend will be (20 + [65 mph][2 hrs] ) miles, or 150 miles south of Seattle.
Comparing 162 miles and 150 miles, we see that you will be further from Seattle than your friend after 2 hours.
After how many hours will you and your friend be the same distance from Seattle? Equate 20 + [65 mph]t to 38 + [62 mph]t and solve the resulting equation for time, t:
20 + [65 mph]t = 38 + [62 mph]t
Subtract [62 mph]t from both sides of this equation, obtaining:
20 + [3 mph]t = 38. Then [3 mph]t = 18, and t = 6 hours.
You and your friend will be the same distance from Seattle (but in different directions) after 6 hours.

Answer:
18 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's a short table of heights:
day 0: height = 1
day 1: height = 1 + (1/2)(1) = 3/2
day 2: height = (3/2) + (1/3)(3/2) = 3/2 + 1/2 = 2
The pattern of heights is ...
(day, height) = (0, 1), (1, 1.5), (2, 2)
The plant is growing 1/2 its original height each day, so we can write the equation ...
h = 1 + d/2
We want to find the number of days (d) that result in a height of 10 (ten times the original height).
10 = 1 + d/2
9 = d/2 . . . . subtract 1
18 = d . . . . . multiply by 2
It took 18 days for the plant to grow to 10 times its original height.
