Answer: there are 8 quarters in the jar

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of nickels that is inside the jar.

The total number of coins inside the jar is 20.

Probability is expressed as

Number of possible or favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes.

The probability of selecting a nickel is 0.6. This is expressed as

0.6 = x/20

Cross multiplying, it becomes

x = 20 × 0.6

x = 12

Since there are 12 nickels inside the jar, then the number of quarters would be

20 - 12 = 8

What is the unit rate for 16 ounces (pint) at $3.93?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

25 cents/ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit rate means how much is one of the thing you are working with.  In this case, the unit rate of a pint (16 ounces) is how much just one ounce will cost.  So divide $3.93 by 16

$3.93/16 =  $0.245625

Since we're working with money, round to the nearest hundredth

Unit rate is $0.25 per ounce, or 25 cents per ounce
