Answer:

It takes 10 years.

Explanation:

For solving this problem, you can use a simple rule of three:

5 state quarters released takes ---- 1 year

50 state quarters released takes ---- x years

Our incognit is "x"

Then you write the equation as:

x = 50 state * 1 year / 5 state

x = 10 years

So it takes 10 years for all 50 state quarters to be released.

Hope it helps!
