Answer:

18 Nickels, 6 Quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, let's build a system of equations to find the number of nickels and dimes you have.  Let N represent the number of nickels and Q represent the number of quarters you have.

The first equation, you have 3 times as many nickels as quarters:

N = 3Q

The second equation, you have a total of $2.40.  Given we know nickels are $0.05 and quarters are $0.25:

0.05N + 0.25Q = 2.40

Now, let's use the two equations to find the number nickels and quarters you have.

N = 3Q

0.05N + 0.25Q = 2.40

0.05(3Q) + 0.25Q = 2.40

0.15Q + 0.25Q = 2.40

0.4Q = 2.40

Q = 6

Now, let's plug the value back into the equation:

N = 3Q

N = 3(6)

N = 18

And we can verify these values with the second equation:

0.05N + 0.25Q = 2.40

0.05(18) + 0.25(6) ?= 2.40

0.90 + 1.50 ?= 2.40

2.40 == 2.40

Therefore, we have found and verified the amount of Nickels and Quarters you have.

Cheers.

12 POINTS<br>Simplify i38. <br> i <br> −1 <br> −i <br> 1
Karolina [17]
Are you sure you've copied down the original problem exactly as given?  i38 = 38i can't be simplified.  Perhaps you meant i^38, which is a different matter.

Note that i^38 = i^32 * I^4 * I^2.

Note that i^0, i^4, i^8, etc., all equal 1.  Therefore,

i^38 = (1)(1)i^2 = 1*(-1) = -1 (answer)

I need to check a number line of 0 to 4 using 1/3
vivado [14]
Draw a straight line. Label the left side "0" and then make lines with
"2" "3" and "4".

1/3 means it i 1/3rd of 1. Which means you need to divide everything from 0 - 1 into 2 segments. The first segment on the left side is your 1/3rd spot. The next one is your 2/3rd place, and then finally the 1 is your 3/3 (or one whole.)
