Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We first have to write an expression for each of the types of coins in terms of one of them.  If he has 8 more dimes than nickels, let's call nickels "x".  That means that dimes is "x + 8".  The value of a nickel is .05, so the expression relating the number of nickels to the worth of the nickel is .05x.  The value of a dime is .10, so the expression relating the number of dimes to the worth of the dime is .10(x + 8).  The total value of these coins is 1.70:

.05x + .10(x + 8) = 1.70 and

.05x + .10x + .8 = 1.70 and

.15x = .9 so

x = 6

That means we have 6 nickels and 14 dimes.

Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 180 ft / 6 sec

To find a unit rate, you need to have a denominator of 1 and to to do that, you can divide the numerator and denominator by the same number, in this case: 6.

30 ft / 1 sec

2) 86 mi / 5 hr

Same as above^(except dividing by 5)

17.2 mi / 1 hr

3) 83 mi / 5 hr

Same as above^^

16.6 mi / 1 hr

We can rewrite this as: 16.6 mph

4) 93 mi / 5 hr

Same as above^^^

18.6 mi / 1 hr

5) 150 mi / 4 hr

Same as above^^^^

37.5 mi / 1 hr

We can rewrite this as: 37.5 mph
