Question

Janine has $12.50 in pennies(p), dimes(d), and half-dollars(h) in her pickle jar. She has 5 times as many dimes as half dollars and 5 times as many pennies as dimes
a) if Janine has h half dollars, write algebraic expressions for the numbers of dimes and pennies that she has

Answer 1

if `She has 5 times as many dimes as half dollars` then how many dimes does she have (in terms of h)?

Answer 2

..

Answer 3

@jim_thompson5910 1/5d = h

Answer 4

which is equivalent to d = 5h, good

Answer 5

and if it says `5 times as many pennies as dimes` then what is an expression for the number of pennies (in terms of d dimes)?

Answer 6

5p=d or 1/5p =d

Answer 7

(# of pennies) = 5*(number of dimes)

p = 5d

Answer 8

so we know

d = 5h
p = 5d

Answer 9

does that help you see how to finish?
