Answer:
8 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n be the number of nickels.
4: (2+ 6 + 4 + n) = 1:5
4÷(12 + n) = 1÷5
4 x 5 = 1 x (12 + n)
20 = 12 + n
n = 8
Answer:
x² (x^n + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
factor x^(n+2) + x²
= x^(n+2) + x²
= x^n • x² + x² (using law of indices)
= x²(x^n + 1)
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
It would take 3 faucets 6/4 = 1.5 minutes to fill a 25-gallon tub since when the number of faucets stays the same, the volume of the tub and the time needed to fill the tub are directly proportional. However, when the volume of the tub stays the same, the number of faucets used and the time needed to fill the tub are <em>inversely</em><em> </em>proportional, therefore, if I double the number of faucets used, it will half the time needed, so the answer is 1.5 / 2 = 0.75 minutes or 45 seconds.
