Answer 1

Answer:

1. 15 dimes equal the value of 6 quarters

2. 35 dimes equal the value of 14 quarters

3. Next to 1, there is 10/4 = 2.5

This means there are 2.5 dimes in 1 quarter

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

4 quarters = 10 dimes

1. Let 6 quarters = x dimes

then

4x = 10 * 6 = 60

x = 60/4 = 15

15 dimes equal the value of 6 quarters

2. Let 14 quarters = x dimes

then

4x = 14 * 10

4x = 140

x = 140/4 = 35

35 dimes equal the value of 14 quarters

3.

Next to 1, there is 10/4 = 2.5

This means there are 2.5 dimes in 1 quarter
