There are nickels, dimes, quarters in a large piggy bank, for every 2 nickels there are 3 dimes, for every 2 dimes there are 5 q

Alex

There are 80 nickels and 120 dimes and 300 quarters in piggy bank

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

For every 2 nickels there are 3 dimes ,

So, ratio of nickel to dime will be 2 : 3

Also for every 2 dimes there are 5 quarters

So, ratio of dime to quarters is 2 : 5

Let us first find the ratio of nickles to dimes to quarters

nickel : dime = 2 : 3

dime : quarters = 2 : 5

$\frac{nickel}{dime} = \frac{2}{3}$

$nickel = \frac{2}{3} dime$

$\frac{dime}{quarter} = \frac{2}{5}$

$quarter = \frac{5}{2}dime$

So,

$nickel : dime : quarter = \frac{2}{3}dime : dime : \frac{5}{2}dime\\\\nickel : dime : quarter = \frac{2}{3} : 1 : \frac{5}{2}\\\\nickel : dime : quarter = 4 : 6 : 15$

Thus nickel : dime : quarters = 4 : 6 : 15

Now, let the number of nickel be 4x

Let the number of dimes be 6x

Let the number of quarters be 15x

From given question,

There are 500 coins in all.

number of nickel + number of dimes + number of quarters = 500

4x + 6x + 15x = 500

25x = 500

x = 20

Thus,

number of nickel = 4x = 4(20) = 80

number of dimes = 6x = 6(20) = 120

number of quarters = 15x = 15(20) = 300

Thus there are 80 nickels and 120 dimes and 300 quarters in piggy bank

Identify the function that contains the data in the following table:Х-20o235f(x)531224O f(x) = x/ + 1O f(x) = x - 21O f(x) = lx

kirill [66]

To identify the function that contains the data in the table, we should first visualize the data.

A graph of the data is shown below:

From the plot above, we can identify that:

The graph above is a graph of f(x) = |x|, translated to the right 2 units and translated upwards 1 unit.

Hence, the function is:

$f(x)\text{ = |x-2| + 1}$

Finding angle measures between intersecting lines

grin007 [14]

Answer: 60° angle

Step-by-step explanation: AGD is a 90° angle, therefore, subtracting 30 from the 90 degrees gives you 60. As x is vertical to the 60 degree angle and verticals have the same degree measurement, x=60°.
