Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of coins in the bag ⇒ 84

Give that,

Dimes : Nickels : Pennies

3 : 2 : 1

You can see that, there are 6 parts . ( 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 )

And now let us write the types of coins in fractions.

Dimes ⇒ $\frac{3}{6}$

Nickels ⇒ $\frac{2}{6}$

Pennies ⇒ $\frac{1}{6}$

And now they're asking for the number of nickels.

To find that, you can multiply 84 ( number of coins) by it's fraction ( 2/6).

Let us solve.

84 × $\frac{2}{6}$

$\frac{84*2}{6}$

$\frac{168}{6}$

Therfore, there are 28 nickels.

Which of the following statements accurately describes the result of a decreasing worker-per-beneficiary ratio in the Social Sec

spayn [35]

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the first choice "Fewer taxed workers than beneficiaries means that the system is collecting more money for the money being drawn out. This leaves money in the system and secures benefits for future beneficiaries."

Social Security is funded primarily through payroll taxes called Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax (FICA) or Self Employed Contributions Act Tax (SECA).

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

For the given statement Pn, write the statements P1, Pk, and Pk+1.

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

$P_{1}$ = 2

$P_{k}$ = k(k+1)

$P_{k+1}$ = (k+1)(k+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the statement,

$P_{n}$ as 2 + 4 + 6 + . . . + 2n = n(n+1)

That is,

$P_{n}$ as 2 + 4 + 6 + . . . + 2n = $\sum_{i=1}^{n}2i$

So, we have,

$P_{1}$ = $\sum_{i=1}^{1}2i$ = 2

$P_{k}$ = $\sum_{i=1}^{k}2i$ = 2 + 4 + 6 + . . . + 2k = k(k+1)

$P_{k+1}$ = $\sum_{i=1}^{k}2i$ = 2 + 4 + 6 + . . . + 2k + 2(k+1) = (k+1)(k+2)

Thus, we get,

$P_{1}$ = 2

$P_{k}$ = k(k+1)

$P_{k+1}$ = (k+1)(k+2)

Answer:

The exponent of the simplified power is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

6 × 6 × 6 × 6 × 6 × 6 × 6 / 6 × 6 × 6 × 6

Dividing common factors ( cancel out 4 6's in the Numerator and Denominator

= 6 × 6 × 6 / 1

Gennadij [26K]

$\frac{3}{4}$ cups of sugar is used to make one batch of cookies.
So 6 batches would be $4 \frac{1}{2}$ .
$\frac{3}{4}$ × $6$ = $4 \frac{1}{2}$ of sugar.
The answer is 4 1/2.
