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?

A.


B.


C.


D.

Answer 1

\(\operatorname{Probability = \dfrac{\operatorname{desired outcomes}}{\operatorname{total outcomes}}}\)

Answer 2

desired outcomes is 10, because there are 10 dimes.
total outcomes is 14+10+6+22 = 52

Answer 3

So you have \(\dfrac{10}{52} = \ldots?\)
