Let our basis be worth 1 dollar. A nickel's worth is $0.05. In order to come up with $1, the number of nickels should be:
Number of nickels = $1 * 1 nickel/$0.05 = 20 nickels
Thickness of 20 nickels = 20 nickels * 1.95 mm = 39 mm
Let's do the same for the quarters. Each quarter is worth $0.25.
Number of quarters = $1 * 1 quarter/$0.25 = 4 quarters
Thickness of 4 quarters = 4 quarters * 1.75 mm = 7 mm
Find the ratio of the two:
39 mm/7 mm = 5.57
Therefore, a stack of nickels is 5.57 times thicker than a stack of quarters worth one dollar.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5(x - 1.5) = 22.5
5x - 7.5 = 22.5
5x = 15
x = 3
A x = 0
using the law of exponents 
= 1
for (6² )^ x = 1 then x = 0
B note that 
= 1 ⇒ x = 1
2 → 2^8 × 3^(-5) × 1^(-2) × 3^(-8) × 2^(-12) × 2^(28)
= 2^(8 -12 + 28) × 1 × 3^(- 5 - 8)
= 2^24 × 3^(- 13) = 2^(24)/3^(13) = 10.523 ( 3 dec. places)
Answer:
L = 50 * (-0.4)^(n - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
r = t2/t1 = -20/50 = - 0.4
a = 50
L = 50 * (r)^(n - 1) Let's see if we can get the answer when n = 3
L=50 * (-0.4)^(3 -1)
L =50* (-0.4)^2
L = 50 * 0.16
L = 8 which is correct
