Let x be the number of nickels and y be the number of quarters.
Then, x + y = 42 --- (1)
It is given that total value = 4.90.
Therefore, 0.05x + 0.25y = 4.9 --- (2)
Multiply (1) by 0.25
0.25x + 0.25y = 10.5 --- (3)
Now, subtract (2) from (3), we get,
0.2x = 5.6
Divide both sides by 0.2.
x = 28
x + y = 42
y = 42 - x
= 42 - 28
= 14
Hence, Mary has 28 nickels and 14 quarters in total.
When will they blink together?
what is the smallest number they both mutiply to
3*5=15
so every 15 seconds
so at 15, 30, 45, 60 seconds
so 4 times if you count the time exactly at 1 minute
9514 1404 393
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Perhaps you want a graph of ...
x^2/49 +(y +1)^2/4 = 1
This is an ellipse centered at (x, y) = (0, -1) with a major axis in the x-direction of 14, and a minor axis in the y-direction of 4.
