Question

zachary has coins of the coins 3/6 are nickles, 2/6 dimes, rest are quarters. What is the ratio of zacharies nickles, to dimes to quarters?

Answer 1

The ratio of zacharies nickels to dimes to quarters is 3 : 2 : 1.

Explanation:

Given:

Zachary has coins of the coins 3/6 are nickels, 2/6 dimes, rest are quarters.

Now, to get the ratio of zacharies nickels, to dimes to quarters.

So, as given dimes and nickels we find the quarters to get the ratio:

`(3)/(6) -(2)/(6)=(3-2)/(6) =(1)/(6)`.

Thus, the quarters are 1/6.

Now, getting the ratio of the coins:

Nickels = 3/6 × 6 = 3

Dimes = 2/6 × 6 = 2

Quarters = 1/6 × 6 = 1

Nickels : Dimes : Quarters = 3 : 2 : 1.

Therefore, the ratio of zacharies nickels to dimes to quarters is 3 : 2 : 1.
