Given:

A student has 6 nickel 14 dimes and 8 quarter.

To find:

The ratio of the total number of coins to the number of nickels.

Solution:

We have,

Number of nickels = 6

Number of dimes = 14

Number of quarter = 8

Total number of coins = 6+14+8

= 28

Now, the ratio of the total number of coins to the number of nickels is


Ratio=\frac{\text{Total number of coins}}{\text{Number of nickels}}


Ratio=(28)/(6)


Ratio=(14)/(3)


Ratio=14:3

Therefore, the ratio of the total number of coins to the number of nickels is 14:3.
