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

the sum of all interior angles in a polygon is

180( n - 2)

n = number of sides

now, this polygon is a quadrilateral, so it has 4 sides, so it's total is just 180( 4 - 2) = 360.

360=x+4x+3x+2x\implies 360=10x\implies \cfrac{360}{10}=x\implies 36=x

Please answer this these are all the points i got left XD

Answer is choice B

The ratio of the sides (first to the second) is 11/9 since we divide 22/18 and reduce that fraction

Once we know the scale factor is 11/9, we square it to get (11/9)^2 = 121/81 which is the ratio of the first area to the second area

1. 98.7 km

2. 303.5 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the alternate angle, the angle at B will be 50 + 10 = 60 degree.

To calculate the length AC of the returning journey, use cosine formula to calculate it.

To find the bearing of the returning journey, use sine rule to calculate it.
