So wouldn't the $5 bill be 3/8 ? @hedyeh99

Answer 8

The $1 bill is 4/9. I am not sure about the $5 bill.

Answer 9

ok question how do you get 4/9 from a $1bill ?

Answer 10

There is 4 one dollar bills. You put that over the total number of bills.
Do you understand ?

Answer 11

But I am confused about the $5 bill because one bill is missing, so that makes the total number of bills 8 instead of nine. But I am not sure ?
