Can someone check my work? A box contains 13 nickels and 5 quarters. What is the ratio of quarters to nickels? A. 5 to 13 B. <----My Answer 13 to 5 C. 5 to 18 D. 18 to 5

OpenStudy (igreen):

Incorrect, you have it backwards.

OpenStudy (igreen):

It's asking for the ratio of Quarters to Nickels. So the amount of quarters go first, and then the amount of nickels go last..so what do we have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it'd be 5 to 13

OpenStudy (igreen):

You picked the ratio of Nickels to Quarters.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Correct \(\large\ddot\smile\)
