represent the proportional relationship described with an equation where n equals the number of nickels and q equals the number of quarters: five nickels for each quarter

a) n = 5q

b) 5n = q

c) n = 4 q

d) q = 4 n

Correct option is:

B) 5n = q

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number of nickles

and q be the number of quarters

We have to find a equation which represents the situation:

five nickels for each quarter

i.e. each quarters equals 5 nickles

Then, q quarters equal to:

q=5n

Hence, Correct option is:

B) 5n = q
