SAT

sveticcg [70]3 years ago

Faults are places in the Earth's crust where different tectonic plates meet and grind against each other.  The tectonic plates continuously move extremely slowly, but at faults, there is great stress caused by this movement.  This is due to the friction between the two tectonic plates, which are usually moving in opposite directions. When this stress is released and the tectonic plates "allow" each other to move a little past each other, the resulting movement is what we like to call and earthquake.

A collection of quarters, dimes, and nickels is worth $5.00. If the ratio of quarters to dimes is 2:4:7, how many quarters are t
Blababa [14]

Answer:

8 quarters

Explanation:

Let's look at the ratio first off.

2 quarters: 4 dimes: 7 nickels

Let's write it in terms of money

50 cents of quarters: 40 cents of dimes: 35 cents of nickels

If we add up all the cents then we get $1.25

Then, if we divide $5 by $1.25 we get 4.

You should then multiply the original ratio by 4:

8 quarters: 16 dimes: 28 nickels

Let's check this by turning it to money:

$2: $1.60: $1.4

This all adds up to $5

Therefore your answer is 8 quarters.

<em>Hope this helps!</em>
