Hi there!

If the nickels and dimes ratioe are both 2:6, then the quarter is also 2:6.

The total of of all together is also 6:6 and 6:6 is also 120 coins.

120 divide by 3 different kinds of coins are 40.

This means that there are 40 of 1 coin out of 3 different kinds of coins. What I really mean is that each coins all have 40 each...

Therefore, the ratios of nickels to dimes and to quarters are 40:40:40...
