You can write three equations in the numbers of nickels (n), dime (d), and quarters (q).
n + d + q = 23 . . . . . . . there are 23 coins total
0n +d -q = 2 . . . . . . . . .there are 2 more dimes than quarters
5n +10d +25q = 250 . .the total value is $2.50
The collection includes 11 nickels, 7 dimes, and 5 quarters.
_____
I used the matrix function of my calculator to solve these equations. You can find q by subtracting from the last equation five times the sum of the first two equations.
(5n +10d +25q) -5((n +d +q) +(d -q)) = (250) -5(23 +2)
25q = 125 . . . . . . . simplify
q = 5
From the second equation,
d = q +2 = 7
And from the first,
n = 23 -5 -7 = 11

Answer: 37 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
14/1÷3/8=?
Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.
Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes
14/1 × 8/3=?
For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get
14×8/1×3 = 112/3
This fraction cannot be reduced.
The fraction
112/3
is the same as
112÷3
Convert to a mixed number using
long division so
112/3=37 1/3
Therefore:
14/1 ÷ 3/8=37 1/3
