Answer:
9 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
He has 17 coins.
$1.25 is 12 dimes and 1 nickel. But that is only 13 coins.
$1.25 can only be 17 coins if there were 9 nickels and 8 dimes.
<h3>Answer :- </h3>
- Let the three consecutive numbers be x -2 , x and x + 2
- Their sum = ( x - 2 ) + ( x + 2 ) = 3x
- This is the given equal to 54
- 3x = 54 or x = 54/3
- x = 18
<em>Thus </em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>required </em><em>numbers </em><em>are </em><em>1</em><em>6</em><em> </em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>8</em><em> </em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>0</em><em> </em>
The least common denominator is 15. The equivalent fractions would be 10/15 and 12/15.
