Question

the ratio of quarters to nickels is 2 to 5. if the total value of all the coins is 4.0 how many coins are there

Answer 1

well 2q = .50

and 5n = .25

so .75 cents per ratio

it doesnt work out evenly

Answer 2

im sorry its 4.50 not 4.0

Answer 3

ok that works out lol...

4.50/.75 = 6

so 6 x 7 coins in the ratio = 42 coins total

Answer 4

that makes sense i just dont know where you got .75?

Answer 5

i think its the total amount per ratio 2quarters + 5nickels = .75
