Ratio = 3 : 4 : 7 -> nickels : dimes : quarters
Total = 112 coins

3 + 4 + 7 = 14 coins in the jar to begin with

112 : 14 ratio -> end total : beginning total

Note: ratios can also be expressed as divisions or fractions

So...

112 / 14 = 8

Now you have to multiply each coin in the ratio by 8 to determine how much there are in a total of 112.

Nickel: 3 x 8 = 24
Dime: 4 x 8 = 32
Quarter: 7 x 8 = 56

New ratio of coins in total of 112 is
24 : 32 : 56

You can check my adding them up:

24 + 32 + 56 = 112

The question asks how many nickels would there be if there were a total of 112 coins and we can see in the new ratio that there would be 24 nickels.

Therefore, there is 24 nickels in a jar if there were a total of 112 coins.

A car drove for 20 minutes at a speed of 52 how far did it travel
laiz [17]

Answer:

Oerhaps 17.3333 miles, see assumption below

Step-by-step explanation:

There are no units for 52.  52 m/sec?  52 feet/min?, 52 mph?

Once we have the units for the 52, convert the 20 minutes to the same unit as in the speed unit, hours in this case.  I'll assume miles/hour for the speed here.  So convert 20 minutes into hours:  (1 hr/60min)*(20 minutes) = (1/3) hour.

Now multiply by the 52 mph:

(52 miles/hr)*(1/3 hour) = (52/3) miles or 17.33 miles
