Answer:

There are 42 quarters (and 6 dimes).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given ratio is 2:14.  But this does not tell us how many dimes nor how many quarters we have.  Instead, it's a ratio.  Modify this by multiplying numerator and denominator by n and then find n:

Number of dimes        2n

----------------------------- = -----

Number of quarters     14n

Then the total number of coins is 2n + 14n =48, implying that:

16n = 48, or n = 3.

Then the number of dimes is 2(n) = 2(3) = 6, and that of quarters is 14(n) =

14(3) = 42.

There are 42 quarters (and 6 dimes).  Notice how the total of 42 and 6 is 48.

Help me on this question.
NISA [10]
This question involves direct proportion which has the formula (y=kx) where y and x are the values which are proportional and k is the constant of proportionality.

The constant of proportionality is basically the value that stays the same even if the x and y values change.

In this case, the constant of proportionality would be 3/7.

Calculate a vector c in the same direction of the vector a and that has the same length as the vector b
Viktor [21]

For any scalar t>0, t\vec a is a vector pointing in the same direction as a.

To force this vector to have the same length as another vector \vec b, first normalize t\vec a by dividing it by its norm,

\dfrac{t\vec a}{\|t\vec a\|}=\dfrac{t\vec a}{t\|\vec a\|}=\dfrac{\vec a}{\|\vec a\|}

then multiply this vector by the norm of \vec b, so that

\vec c=\dfrac{\|\vec b\|}{\|\vec a\|}\vec a

To confirm that \vec c has the same length as \vec b:

\|\vec c\|=\left\|\dfrac{\|\vec b\|}{\|\vec a\|}\vec a\right\|=\dfrac{\|\vec b\|}{\|\vec a\|}\|\vec a\|=\|\vec b\|
