Answer:

3 nickels and 5 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = number of nickels

q = number of quarters

q = n+2

.25q + .05n = 1.40

Using the first equation and replacing q in the second equation

.25( n+2) + .05n = 1.40

Distribute

.25n+.50 +.05n = 1.40

Combine like terms

.30n +.5 = 1.40

Subtract .5 from each side

.3n +.5-.5 = 1.40-.4

.3n = .9

Divide by .3

.3n/.3 = .9/.3

n = 3

q = n+2

q=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the

Nickel coin = x

Quarter coin = y

y = n + 2

0.25y + 0.05x = 1.4

0.25(x + 2) + 0.05x = 1.4

0.25x + 0.5 + 0.05x = 1.4

0.25x + 0.05x = 1.4 - 0.5

0.30x = 0.9

x = 0.9/0.3

x = 3

y = 3 + 2 = 5

A car covered a certain distance at a speed of 24 mph. While returning, the car covered the same distance at a speed of 16 mph.
igomit [66]
Since the distances were the same you can find the average speed directly by adding the speeds then dividing by 2. No need to weight anything.

If we’re considering speed regardless of direction, the average speed is:

(24 + 16) / 2 = 40 / 2 = 20mph

However if direction matters, then one number has to be negative since the directions are opposite:

(24 - 16) / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4mph (in the positive direction)

Depending on the context, either of these could be your answer.

The mean absolute deviation of the scuba diver’s depth over the entire 25 min is 2.4 meters

<h3>What is mean absolute deviation?</h3>

It is defined as the measure to show the variation in data set in other words between the mean and every data value, the distance known as the MAD.

We have depths of the scuba diver, in meters

{−9, −18, −16, −13, −14}

We know the formula for the mean absolute deviation:

\rm MAD = \dfrac{\sum |x-X|}{n}

Here n is total number of observation

x is the elements in the data set

X is the mean of the data.

n = 5

x = -70/5 = -14

∑|x-X| = 12

MAD = 12/5 = 2.4 meters

Thus, the mean absolute deviation of the scuba diver’s depth over the entire 25 min is 2.4 meters.
