Mathematics

Answer:

The number of nickels is 45 and the number of dimes is 72.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> number of nickels

y ----> number of dimes

Remember that

1\ nickel=\$0.05

1\ dime=\$0.10

so

0.05x+0.10y=9.45 ------> equation A

0.05x+0.10(2y)=16.65

0.05x+0.20y=16.65 ------> equation B

<em>Solve the system by substitution</em>

we have

0.05x+0.10y=9.45 ------> equation A

0.05x+0.20y=16.65 ------> equation B

Multiply both equations by 100 both sides

5x+10y=945 ---->5x=945-10y --> equation C

5x+20y=1,665 ----> equation D

substitute equation C in equation D

(945-10y)+20y=1,665

solve for y

945+10y=1,665

10y=1,665-945

10y=720

y=72\ dimes

Find the value of x

5x=945-10y

5x=945-10(72)

5x=225

x=45\ nickels

<em>Alternative Method</em>

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

the solution is the point (45,72)

therefore

The number of nickels is 45 and the number of dimes is 72.

In 15 minutes, Jada would have covered about 2.5 miles, while the cousin would have covered 0.625 miles.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is the ratio of distance to time.

For Jada:

Speed = 2 miles / 12 minutes = 0.167 miles per minute

For Jada cousin:

Speed = 1 mile / 24 min = 0.0417 miles per minute.

Hence, in 15 minutes:

Jada distance = 15 min * 0.167 miles per minute = 2.5 miles

Jada cousin distance = 15 min * 0.167 miles per minute = 0.625 miles

In 15 minutes, Jada would have covered about 2.5 miles, while the cousin would have covered 0.625 miles.
