Answer 1

There are 8 coins total, so that is your denominator.
There are 3 dimes and 2 quarters, so add them together and you get 5 which is your numerator.
5/8 should be the fraction you end up with :)

Answer 2

Answer: Fraction of coins is either a dime or a quarter is
`(5)/(8)`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of nickles = 3

Number of dimes = 3

Number of quarters = 2

Total number of coins = 3+3+2 = 8

So, Fraction of coins is either a dime or a quarter is given by

`(3)/(8)+(2)/(8)\\\\=(5)/(8)`

Hence, fraction of coins is either a dime or a quarter is
`(5)/(8)`
