at 9:00 am Marsha found a parking meter that still had 5 minute until it expired.she quickly put a quarter, 1 dime, and a nickel into the meter and went to her meter and went to her meeting.If 5 cent buys 15 minute of parking time at what time will the meter expire

started with= 5 min

quarter= 75 min
dime = 30 min
nickle= 15 min

add all the minutes then add to 9:00 am

To find out when the meter will expire, we need to determine how many 5-minute increments the coins Marsha inserted will cover.

1 quarter = 25 cents
1 dime = 10 cents
1 nickel = 5 cents

Therefore, Marsha inserted a total of 25 + 10 + 5 = <<25+10+5=40>>40 cents.

Since 5 cents buys 15 minutes of parking time, we can calculate how many 15-minute increments 40 cents will cover.

40 cents ÷ 5 cents = <<40/5=8>>8 increments

So, the coins Marsha inserted will cover 8 increments of 15 minutes each.

Each increment is equal to 15 minutes, so:

8 increments * 15 minutes/increment = 120 minutes

Therefore, the meter will expire in 120 minutes from when Marsha inserted the coins.

If Marsha found the meter at 9:00 am and inserted the coins, then the meter will expire at:

9:00 am + 120 minutes = 11:00 am

So, the meter will expire at 11:00 am.

To determine the time when the parking meter will expire, we need to calculate the amount of time the coins Marsha inserted will buy in total.

First, we should determine the total value of the coins she inserted. A quarter is worth 25 cents, a dime is worth 10 cents, and a nickel is worth 5 cents. So, the total value of the coins is 25 cents + 10 cents + 5 cents = 40 cents.

Next, we need to find out how many times 5 cents can go into 40 cents. We can do this by dividing 40 by 5: 40 / 5 = 8 times.

Since 5 cents buys 15 minutes of parking time and Marsha has 8 sets of 5 cents, we can multiply 8 by 15 to find the total time her coins will buy: 8 * 15 = 120 minutes.

Finally, we add the 120 minutes of parking time to the initial 5 minutes remaining on the meter. 120 minutes + 5 minutes = 125 minutes.

Therefore, the parking meter will expire 125 minutes after Marsha found it at 9:00 am. To find out the exact time, we can convert 125 minutes into hours and minutes.

125 minutes divided by 60 minutes per hour equals 2 hours with a remaining 5 minutes.

Adding 2 hours to 9:00 am gives us a time of 11:00 am.

Therefore, the parking meter will expire at 11:00 am.
