Question

If there were 24 coins in all, how many more gold coins than copper coins were in the jar?

Answer 1

there are 24 coins in all and half of the coins are gold, half of 24 is 12. So since gold is 12, the copper and silver coins share the other half, looking at the chart I’m thinking that the silver coins has 2 more than the copper coins so the silver coin would have 8 and the copper coins would be 4. The question is asking for how many coins gold has than copper so you subtract 12-4 and you would get 8.

So your answer is 8.

Answer 2

Answer: 8 (I think)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 24 coins in all. 1/2 gold coins and 1/6 copper coins.

1/2 of 24 is 12

1/6 of 24 is 4

12 - 4 = 8

So there are 8 more gold coins than copper.
