v, the value of the nickels in cents

Answer 1

To find the value \( v \) of the nickels in cents, you can use the following rule:

Rule:

Each nickel is worth 5 cents. Therefore, to find the total value \( v \) in cents, you can multiply the number of nickels \( n \) by 5.

Formula:

\[ v = n \times 5 \]

Input Output Arrow:

• Input: \( n \) (number of nickels)
• Output: \( v \) (value of the nickels in cents)

For example:

• If you have 3 nickels, then:
  • Input: \( n = 3 \)
  • Output: \( v = 3 \times 5 = 15 \) cents

So you can represent it in an Input Output Arrow format as:

Input (n) -> Output (v)

Where:

• For \( n = 3 \) -> \( v = 15 \) cents (since \( 3 \times 5 = 15 \))
