Desmond gave Brenda at least two quarters, which are each worth 25 cents, totaling at least 50 cents. The remaining 5 coins must add up to 42 cents. Since quarters are the highest denomination, the other coins must be lower in value, such as dimes (10 cents) and pennies (1 cent). Therefore, Desmond likely gave Brenda 2 quarters, 2 dimes, and 3 pennies.
5 nickels is a quarter. 15 nickels is 75 cents. Four more nickels makes it to 95 cents, for a total of 19 nickels. That makes sense, because 20 nickels would be a dollar, and you are only one nickel short of that.
This is an algebra problem that requires two equations to be solved simultaneously. The two key pieces of information are that there are 16 coins and that they add to 1 dollar. For the first equation, let's suppose we have X nickels and Y dimes. Therefore we may say: X + Y = 16 For the second equation we apply what we know about the values of nickels and dimes. A nickel is worth 5 cents. So the value of X number of nickels is 5*(X). The value of Y dimes is 10*(Y). Notice that the units of this value is in cents. Our given information says dollar, so it now makes sense to think of this dollar as 100 cents to match our equation. Now we may say: 5X + 10Y = 100 These two equations can be solved simultaneously by add/subtracting them or solving for a variable and substituting. I think add/subtracting is cooler but everyone knows substitution: Rearrange X+Y=16 to X=16-Y Then substitute for X in the other equation: 5(16-Y)+10Y=100 Distribute, group terms, subtract, and divide both sides: (80-5Y)+10Y=100 80+5Y=100 5Y=20 Y=4 Therefore we have 4 dimes, or 40 cents. The total is a dollar so we must have 60 cents in nickels. The only way to have that is with 12 coins. These numbers make sense: they total 16 coins and 1 dollar. QED.
The question does not make sense. Dimes are a denomination of coins; a foot is a US measurement of length. Please rephrase it and post a new question.
you don't even make sense, you have no friends 4 quarts to a gallon idiot 4 quarters to one dollar you can put like a thousand quarters in a gallon jug
In a military sense, yes. Married or single quarters are housing stock owned by the state for the free or rented use by military personnel.
It doesn't make sense. It means "eight how many quarters."
She was a devout Roman Catholic, and as she was executed for political and religious reasons ( in a sense not too different from the family-plan homicide of the Romanovs) she can be said to have died for the Faith- She is regarded as a Martyr in some quarters.
