Answer:

27 quarters and 37 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Nickels are 5¢

Quarters are 25¢

$8.60 is 172 nickels (860/5)

$8.60 is 34.4 quarters (860/25)

So then let's split it half-and-half.

425 and 435

425 would become 17 quarters.

435 would become 87 nickels.

This is still too much.

Now let's try 700 and 160.

700 would become 28 quarters

160 would become 32 nickels.

28+32=60.

This is a lot closer.

So now 27 quarters and 37 nickels. This works.

A ball is thrown in the air from a ledge. Its height in feet is represented by f(x) = –16(x^2 – 5x – 6), where x is the number

leonid [27]

I believe your answer is 6 seconds.

Because the height of the ball = -16(x² - 5x - 6), when the height of the ball is 0, which is when it is on the ground, we can set -16(x² - 5x - 6) equal to 0. This also allows us to divide by -16, and then we can solve the equation:

x² - 5x - 6 = 0
(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0

So x = 6 or x = -1, and because a quantity of time cannot be negative, x would have to be 6, which means it takes 6 seconds for the ball to reach 0 feet.

I hope this helps!

If you can drive 340 miles in 5 hours, what is the unit rate? * (2 Points) Enter your answer

Marianna [84]

I believe it would be 68 miles per hour! To find the unit rate here you would divide miles by hours, or 340 by 5, which would give you 68.

Elena L [17]

Answer:

$4x + 20 - 5 = 0 \\ 4x + 15 = 0 \\ 4x = - 15 \\ x = - \frac{15}{4}$
