Answer:

  14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number of nickels. Then the number of quarters is 36-n. The difference is ...

  (36-n) -n = 8 . . . . . 8 more quarters than nickels

  18 -n = 4 . . . . . . . divide by 2

  14 = n . . . . . . . . add n-4 to both sides

There are 14 nickels in the jar.

<em>Additional comment</em>

The problem supplies more information than is needed for a solution. You can work this as a "sum and difference" problem, as we have above, or you can work it as a "mixture" problem where the total coin value comes into play. Any two of the three given relations will give a solution.

  n + q = 36 . . . . . . . number of coins

  5n +25q = 620 . . . value of coins (in cents)

  q -n = 8 . . . . . . . . difference in number of coins

jasenka [17]

Answer:

12:50 PM.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Craig’s school has 4 lessons in the morning and lesson 1 starts at 8:35. Each lesson is 60 minutes long. There is a break of 15 minutes between lesson 2 and 3.

We can see that lesson 1 will end at 9:35 AM and second lesson will end at 10:35 AM.

We have been also given that there is a break for 15 minutes between lesson 2 and 3. So third lesson will start at 10:50 AM as lunch break will end at 10:50 AM.

Third lesson will end 60 minutes after 10:50 AM that is 11:50 AM and fourth lesson will end 60 minutes after 11:50 AM that is 12:50 PM.

Therefore, 4th lesson will end at 12:50 PM.
