Question

Answer 1

Given:

Write the following comparison as a ratio reduced to the lowest terms. 19 nickels to 20 dimes.

nickel = 5 cents

dime = 10 cents

So, the ratio will be as follows:

`(19nickels)/(20dimes)=(19*5)/(20*10)=(19*5)/(20*2*5)=(19)/(2*20)=(19)/(40)`

So, the answer will be: 19/40
