Answer 1

95:95:19

Explanation:

1.Divide 209 by 11.(209÷19)

2.Multiply 19×5 since 5/11 of the coins are nickels.(19×5=95)

3.Multiply 19×5 again since 5/11 of the coins are dimes.(19×5=95)

4.Multiply 19×1 since there would be 1/11 left of the coins which are quarters. (19×1=19)

5.Check your awnser by adding 95+95+19.(95+95+19=209)
