There are 6 nickels and 14 pennies.
There are 20 total coins.

The ratio of nickels to coins is 6:20.
Both of these are divisible by 2, so we can reduce this to 3:10.

A ratio is written like it says like if there are 2 pennies and 5 quarters, if you were to make a ratio out of that, then the ratio is 2:5
The amount of nickels is 6 and the total number of coins is 20
So this ratio would be 6:20 or 6/20 or 6 to 20, however you want to write it
When the problem asks the lowest terms, it means the simplest ratio where you cannot simplify the ratio any further like 1:2 is simplified but 2:8 isn't simplified because you can reduce 2:8 into 1:4
First, you must find the GCF (otherwised known as greatest common factor)
This can be confused with LCM
The GCF is no more than the smallest number
The LCM is no less than your greatest number
If you can't get the GCF of a ratio, then that ratio is simplified and can no longer be simplified.
So the GCF of 6 and 20 is 2
You need to divide both numbers by the GCF and you will get
3:10
<em>The ratio from nickels to pennies is 3 nickels / 10 coins</em>
This is how I learned it in school and I know some methods are probably easier than this one.

To find the driver's initial speed
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The speed of the driver is 200km/hr.

<h3>How to calculate the speed?</h3>

The information is incomplete and an overview will be given since the complete information wasn't found online.

It should be noted that speed is calculated as:

= Distance / Time

Let distance = 2000km

Let time = 10 hours.

Speed = Distance/Time

Speed = 2000/10

Speed = 200km/hr

there are 118 boys and 121 girls signed up for a volleyball league. The coaches first make teams of 9 players and then assign an
andrew11 [14]

The number of nine-players team= 21 teams.

The number of ten-players team= 5 teams.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<u>step 1:</u> The total players signed up for a volleyball league= 118 boys+121 girls= 239 players.

<u>step 2:</u> The coach first makes a 9 players team= 239-9= 230 members

In this stage, the number of 9 players-team is one.

<u>step 3:</u> The remaining 230 players cannot be divided equally into 9 players, since 230 is not divisible by 9.

<u>step 4:</u> Find the number within 230 that is divisible by 9 as a whole. Check for easy number (9*20= 180 is within 230)

Therefore, 230-180= 50 players are remaining.

In this stage, the number of 9 players-team= 1+20= 21 teams with 9-players.

The number of 10 players-team= 50 players/10= 5 teams with 10-players.
