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.

Barbara drives between Miami, Florida and West Palm Beach, Florida. she drives 45 miles in clear weather and then encounters a t
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Barbara's speed in clear weather is 60mph and in the thunderstorm is 38mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v_1 be the speed and  t_1 be the time Barbara drives in clear weather, and let v_2 be the speed and t_2 be the time she drives in the thunderstorm.

Barbara drives 22 mph lower in the thunderstorm than in the clear weather; therefore,

(1). v_2 = v_1 -22

Also,

(2). v_1t_1 = 45miles

(3). v_2 t_2 = 57,

and

(4). t_1+t_2 = 2.25hr

From equations (2) and (3) we get:

t_1 = \dfrac{45}{v_1}

t_2 =\dfrac{57}{v_2}

putting these in equation (4) we get:

\dfrac{45}{v_1}+\dfrac{57}{v_2}=2.25

and substituting for v_2 from equation (1) we get:

\dfrac{45}{v_1}+\dfrac{57}{v_1-22}=2.25

This equation can be rewritten as

2.25v_1^2-151.5v_1+990=0

which has solutions

v_1 = 60

v_1 = 7.33

We take the first solution v_1 =60 because it gives a positive value for v_2:

v_2 = v_1 -22

v_2 = 60 -22\\

v_2 = 38.

Thus, Barbara's speed in clear weather is 60mph and in the thunderstorm is 38mph.

Find approximate radius of a circle that has an area of 60 square centimeters
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
Area of circle = πr^2
60=πr^2

we need to find radius (r)
so we solve for r
r^2=60/π
r=√(60/π)
r= 4.37
