Answer:

1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 18 nickles so that number is 18. When added together, there are 36 total coins. Since it states nickle to all coins, we replace <em>to</em> with a colon and replace the words with the related numbers.

18:36

like a fraction, ratios can be simplified. 18 is half of 36 so the ratio would go to 1:2. This means that 1 in every 2 coins is a nickle.

Total number of coins: 12 quarters, 6 dimes, and 18 nickles add to 36 coins

Number of nickles: 18 nickles

Ratio of nickles to all coins:

18 to 36

Train X is traveling at a constant speed of 30 miles per hour and Train Y is traveling at a constant speed of 40 miles per hour.

topjm [15]

Answer:

3.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of train X=30 mph

Speed of train Y=40 mph

Relative speed When the two trains travelling in same direction

Relative speed=40-30=10 mph

Total distance =25+10=35 miles

We have to find the time when train Y is 10 miles ahead of train X.

We know that

Time= $\frac{Distance}{Relative\;speed}$

Using the formula

Then, we get

Time= $\frac{35}{10}=3.5 hours$

Hence, it will be 3.5 hours until train Y is 10 miles ahead of train X.

Delicious77 [7]

Use easy numbers if you get confused on problems like these.

I'm going to use 12 instead of c.
Since you have 12 pieces of candy and 6 friends, each friend would get 2 pieces, because 12/6=2.

Now, substitute c for 12, and you get c/6.

Hope this helps!
