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.

Is the sequence 3,6,9,12 geometric? True or false and why
IRINA_888 [86]
This sequence is not a geometric.
It is because, common ratio = 6/3 = 2
9/6 = 1.5

As the ratio's are not same, it is not a G.P

Hope this helps!

alexdok [17]
The equation is:
h ( t ) = - 16 t² + 60 t + 3
The toy rocket will reach the ground when: h ( t ) = 0
- 16 t² + 60 t + 3 = 0
t _{12} =  \frac{-60+/- \sqrt{3600+192} }{-32}
t 1 = - 0.05
t 2 = 3.8
