Question

A jar contains 14 nickels, 10 dimes, 6 quarters, and 22 pennies. A coin is chosen at random from the jar. What is the probability that the coin chosen is a dime?

Answer 1

This would mean you take the number of the thing you want (10 dimes so 10)

and put it OVER the total amount of possible things to get...so

14 + 10 + 6 + 22 = 52

so we have

10
--
52

can this be simplified at all...?
