The thickness of each type of coin is shown in the table. How much thicker is stack of dollars worth of nickels than a dollars w
Lilit [14]
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:

-52, and the opposite of this is 52.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are losing 52 pounds, then our number is -52 since we are losing 52 pounds (adding a negative number to a positive number is the same as subtracting that number).

The opposite of a number is when we negate the number, or multiply it by -1.

A negative number times a negative number is a positive number.

-52\cdot-1 = 52\cdot1 = 52

Hope this helped!

Express 5/14 as a decimal number rounded to the nearest thousandth.
vlabodo [156]
The answer for this question would be choice A) 0.357 or the first option because 5/14 made into a decimal number would be 0.357143 and i got that answer by dividing 5 and 14, but u said round to nearest thousandth, so now we have the result we still have to round it and 0.357143 rounded to the nearest thousandth would be 0.357.
