The older sister is correct.
1/12+1/4=1/x, with the numerators being the amount and the denominators being the time. We'll multiply them all by the GCF
x+3x=12
Then all we need to do is solve for x:
4x=12
x=3

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

14 ways in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. If you use 2 quarters, you have to make the remaining 15� with either no

dimes or 1 dime and the rest in nickels.

dimes, 1 dime, 2 dimes, 3 dimes or 4 dimes and the rest, if any, in nickels.

That's 5 more ways.  

C. If you don't use any quarters, you have to make the entire 65� with either

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 dimes and the rest in nickels.

That's 7 more ways.  2+5+7 = 14 ways in all.

hawnda incorrectly found the distance between -26 and 25 by following these steps: Step 1: |25 – (-26)| Step 2: |25 – 26| Step 3
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 2 is not correct. It should be abs(25 - - 26) = abs(25 + 26) = 51

Given that Step 2 is accepted (as - 1) then three is OK and and so is 4. But technically they are incorrect as well. I think you are likely to say that step 2 is the problem.
