Answer 1

To find the value \( v \) of Fatima's nickels for different numbers of nickels \( n \), you can use the equation:

\[ v = 5n \]

Now, let's calculate the value for \( n = 9 \), \( n = 11 \), and \( n = 16 \):

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

2. For \( n = 11 \):
\[
v = 5 \times 11 = 55 \text{ cents}
\]

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

Now, you can fill in the table:

| n (number of nickels) | v (value in cents) |
|-----------------------|---------------------|
| 9 | 45 |
| 11 | 55 |
| 16 | 80 |

So, the outputs you would enter into Zearn are:

- For \( n = 9 \), \( v = 45 \) cents
- For \( n = 11 \), \( v = 55 \) cents
- For \( n = 16 \), \( v = 80 \) cents
