<span>Let N equal the number of nickels.
Let D equal the number of dimes.
Let Q equal the number of quarters.

We know that .05N + .10D + .25Q = 5.50.
We also know that N + D + Q = 30.
We also know that D = 2N.

Therefore, Q = 30 - (N + D) = 30 - (N + 2N) = 30 - 3N

So...

5.50 = .05N + .10(2N) + .25(30 - 3N)
= .05N + .20N + 7.50 - .75N

Therefore (moving all N's to the left of the equals sing, and all constants to the right of the equals sign)...

.5N = 2.

Therefore, N = 4. There are four nickels, eight dimes, and 18 quarters.

Checking our work...
Four nickels is 0.20.
Eight dimes is 0.80.
18 quarters is 4.50.

That sums to 5.50, and is 30 coins.</span>

Nina can type 124 words in 4 minutes.at this rate how many words can nina type in an hour
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

<em>1,860</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

FIRST:

we divide 124 by 4 because in 4 minutes he can type 124 words, and we need to figure out how many he can type in a minute.

124 divided by 4 is 31. (they can type 31 wpm)

NEXT: now we know they can type 31 wpm, we need to multiply that number by 60 because there are 60 minutes in an hour.

31 x 60 = 1,860

therefore, they can type 1860 words per hour

hope i helped have a great day/night! :'')

If s and t are integers greater than 1 and each is a factor of the integer n, which of the following must be a factor of n st ?
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

A) None

Step-by-step explanation:

1) s^t shoudnt neccesarily be a factor of nst, for example, if s = 3, t = 4, and n = 12, then both s and t are factors of n, but 3^4 = 81 is not a factor of nst = 144.

2) (st)^2 shoudnt neccesarily be a factor of nst. Let s be 4, let t be 6, and let n be 12. Then n is a factor of both s and t, but (st)^2 = 24^2 is not a factor of nst = 12*24. In fact, it is a greater number.

3) Again, s+t isnt necessarily a factor of nst, let s be 2 and t be 3. Then both s and t are factor of n = 12. However 5 = s+t is not a factor of nst = 72.

So, neither of the three options is guaranteed to be a factor of nst. In fact, for s = 4, t = 6, and n = 12, none of the three options are valid.
