The correct equation to determine how many quarters, q, Abby has is:

\(\frac{1}{4}q = 10\)

This equation represents that Abby has quarters worth \(\frac{1}{4}\) (or 25 cents) each, and the total value of these quarters is $10.

Answer:

1/4q = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Each quarter is worth $0.25. To find how many quarters she has, you would to multiply how many quarters there are in 1 dollar, which is 4. If we were to use the equation 1/4q = 10, we would multiply 4 to both sides then get q = 40.

Best of Luck!
