Answer 1

To find the value of the nickels, we can use the formula \( v = 5n \), where \( n \) is the number of nickels and \( v \) is the value in cents.

Let's calculate the value for each case:

1. For \( n = 9 \): \[ v = 5 \times 9 = 45 \text{ cents} \]

2. For \( n = 16 \): \[ v = 5 \times 16 = 80 \text{ cents} \]

3. For \( n = 48 \): \[ v = 5 \times 48 = 240 \text{ cents} \]

Now, let's summarize the values in a table:

| n (number of nickels) | v (value in cents) | |-----------------------|---------------------| | 9 | 45 | | 16 | 80 | | 48 | 240 |

Thus, the values are:

• For 9 nickels: 45 cents
• For 16 nickels: 80 cents
• For 48 nickels: 240 cents
